For Tory’s girls this Valentine’s Day: pretty florals, a spritz of perfume, some festive reds and a couple of sweet… hearts.

Here’s an up-close-and-personal glimpse at the Fall 2014 runway collection. Discover all of Tory’s inspirations and favorite looks — straight from the designer herself.
Tough chic: the single statement earring, straight from our Fall 2014 runway show. Now available for pre-order, the limited edition Jeweled Drop Earring Cuff is inspired by the beauty of Old World armor. Brilliant in burnished gold with prong-set glass stones, the design is finished with a chain that hangs from the top of the ear. It’s a standout piece that works back to our collection — and an edgy take on antique jewelry.
You saw the Fall 2014 collection and experienced the runway. We took you backstage and behind the scenes. Now, take a peek at Tory’s entire day yesterday, from breakfast and runway show to basketball game (yes, basketball game) to finish.

Tory Beauty Beauty made its runway debut with our Fall 2014 show. Learn how to recreate the fresh-yet-sultry look of our models, plus the key to their minimally styled hair, with tips from our backstage beauty experts.
“The inspiration starts with the armor my parents collected. The references are subtle, whether in the mix of textures (woven, quilted, pleated) or in the tapestry brocades and florals. The focus is on clean, strong silhouettes with bold embellishments. Accessories reflect the mood — belts with chain details, lace-up ghillie heels and muffs.” — Tory

After the Fall 2014 runway show, Tory and the design team headed downtown to Indochine for a celebratory post-show feast of crab cakes, filet mignon and a mojito or two. Above, their menu from today.
Get a glimpse of what Fashion Week is like for an editor on the go — make that an Editor-in-Chief on the go. We asked Lucky magazine’s Eva Chen to create an Instagram diary of New York Fashion Week for The Tory Blog. She hit up the shows at Lincoln Center (wearing Tory’s Electra coat, top right), swung by the new Ladurée outpost in Soho, crossed borough borders for Alexander Wang’s Brooklyn show, shared her front-row view to Tory’s runway today and more.
The adventures continue on her Instagram here, @evachen212.
It’s a wrap! Our Fall 2014 show is over, but you can relive it again at Tory’s runway experience and download the soundtrack to listen on the go. From Soul II Soul to John Carpenter thrillers, get the full playlist here — plus, listen on Spotify now.

In life, it’s easy to rest on your laurels and never take a risk. This month, two fashion-world insiders prove that, for them, this was never an option. After departing Vogue earlier this year, Valerie Boster (left, wearing Tory’s Mia pants) and Meredith Melling (wearing the Brynn necklace) have finally pulled up the curtains on their much-anticipated venture: La Marque. Applying the lessons learned behind the scenes during their combined 20-plus years on the Vogue masthead, they’ve created a business to help grow and develop the brands they admire. Here, photographed against a painting by Geraldine Neuwirth, the magazine’s alums share a little bit of their vision, plus some wisdom imparted by their former boss.
She’s got style, she’s got grace… and with Fashion Week here, she’s running all over the place. We asked Refinery29’s Editor-in-Chief Christene Barberich to create a New York Fashion Week diary on Instagram for The Tory Blog. She captured the sterling silver nails at Delpozo in closeup, offered plenty of pretty shoe-peeping….

Hit the slopes this ski season — without stepping foot in snow (or at least, in a foot of snow). Check out photojournalist Robert Capa’s colorful captures of postwar European ski resorts — featuring leisurely montages like the sunbather above — currently on view at New York’s International Center of Photography. Or, hit your couch: Women’s ski jumping is making its hard-fought Olympic debut this week in Sochi. Watch as Americans Sarah Hendrickson, Jessica Jerome and Lindsey Van soar through the air with the greatest of ease — at up to 60 miles per hour — all while trying to go as far as possible and stick the landing.

Tommy Ton and Phil Oh are buddies who both happen to follow fashion shows — and their attendees — around the world. But they have even more in common than you might think…
Ten years ago today, we opened our doors on Elizabeth Street. (Those would be metaphoric doors, of course, since the orange lacquer ones hadn’t arrived in time.) But we opened, thanks to a team effort of friends and family, including Tory’s mother Reva. Some things never change… and we hope they never do. Ten years have flown by, and we can’t thank our customers enough for coming along on this ride. Here’s to the next decade and exciting things to come in 2014.
Natalie Joos not only pairs prints like a pro, she slips seamlessly from styling and casting to design consulting and blogging — and back. Here, wearing Tory’s floral Valerie dress and blush Reyna dress, the woman behind style site Tales of Endearment talks balance and all things Fashion Week…
Get your kicks with a sporty sneaker. Or kick your heels off and go for a chic sandal. Whatever the occasion, the shoes make the outfit. Let us show you how to hit a sartorial home run — from the ground up — with this handy guide to the season’s best.
It sounds like the start of your next craft project. But for bestselling author Kelly Corrigan, Glitter and Glue is the title of her newest memoir. Named for the way her mother described their family dynamic — “Your father’s the glitter, but I’m the glue” — the book explores that special bond between mothers and daughters. Here, wearing Tory’s Merida dress, Corrigan talks about the lessons she learned from her mother — and what she learned from being one herself.
You know how some people just exude cool? As far as we’re concerned, Julie Anne Quay, CEO and Founder of VFILES — a social network where hardcore fashion lovers can talk and shop collections created by members — pretty much defines the word. Maybe it’s the fact that she ran Steven Meisel’s studio for years and counts insiders like Hedi Slimane among her closest pals. Or because she’s worked with Richard Avedon and Steven Klein. Or was Executive Editor of V magazine. But this Aussie — with a wicked sense of humor — has got it. So, of course, we were curious about how she navigates a day during New York Fashion Week. Here, she takes us through her biggest day — yesterday’s user-generated fashion show, VFILES MADE FASHION 2.
