TORY BURCH
Travel as an inexhaustible source of inspiration
Tory Burch was born in Pennsylvania in 1966 and grew up as the daughter of a businessman and an actress. After graduating with a degree in art history, she began her career in the fashion industry first as a designer in New York, where she worked for Harper's Bazaar, Vera Wang and Polo Ralph Lauren. In 2004 she founded her own label, which was represented worldwide within a very short time. Her work as a designer is strongly influenced by the life of her parents, who traveled extensively, especially in the 60s and 70s. Thus, Tory's collections are always influenced by Marrakech, Athens and Capri. Old photos serve as an inexhaustible source of her ideas. Her father Buddy mostly wore loafers and jackets with lining in Hermès design and her mother Reva was the epitome of glamorous bohemian style.
Bohemian chic paired with young business style
Over the years, Tory developed her own signature style, which is always inspired by the fashion of past decades, in addition to attention to detail, patterns and graphic elements. A tunic that Tory Burch once discovered at a flea market is considered the origin of her first collection pieces. Even today, at least one colorfully patterned tunic can be found in every collection, as well as the iconic Reva Ballerina, with which the designer achieved her big breakthrough and which is named after her mother. The designer combines classic ethnic elements and boho details with sequined turtlenecks or quilted suede jackets.
