There’s the classic button-down and then there’s our Kenza top. Cut from crisp cotton poplin — and featured in this month’s issue of Vogue (right) — the Kenza comes with a swipe of bright crimson on the collar for a chic update on the wardrobe staple. Coolly minimal and standout striking, this limited-edition style can anchor any look with a touch of tomboy chic.

A chance meeting at yoga and a mutual love for mythology formed the foundation for New York-based band ASTR. Members Zoe Silverman (wearing Tory’s Kane sweater and Lace cuff) and Adam Pallin just released their debut EP, Varsity, and are hitting California next week with performances in San Francisco and L.A. Next month, they’re headed to SXSW. Learn all about this new-on-the-scene duo — and their cool electro R&B sounds — here.
Spring 2014 channels the easy glamour of the 1969 film La Piscine — as you may have read. But what if you then channel the easy glamour of the collection itself… through a dreamy, cinematic lens? Wonderland magazine did just that, with the above film which captures the mood and layers on a little mystery and cool attitude courtesy of model Harmony Boucher (who also happens to be the frontwoman for London rock band vuvuvultures). Directed by Dominic Clarke, Tory Burch x Wonderland takes you behind the scenes of our accompanying feature in the newest issue of Wonderland, which was guest-edited by the cover girl herself: Emma Watson.
If you can’t wait for Fall 2014 to drop later this year, head on over to Moda Operandi (or its new app) for our special trunk show this week. Be the first to shop the collection’s quilted satin sweaters, equestrian-print blouses and over-the-knee boots — on pre-order now for five more days.
What do Snow White and Hitchcock blondes have in common? One very chic fan — Indre Rockefeller, here wearing Tory’s Emmy ankle skinny jean. We chat with the General Merchandise Manager and Creative Director, Trunkshows, of Moda Operandi — where you can now shop the Tory Burch Fall 2014 collection, straight from the runway — about wardrobe editing, emerging designers and the reason she refused to wear pants as a child.

Where does the story of Spring 2014 begin? Here, wearing the Merrit top, Heidi pants, Sadie slingbacks and Robinson basket-weave dome satchel, Tory talks about the new collection and its inspirations.
The cropped hemlines of the Sixties, a soundtrack of psychedelic pop, palm trees and pools… the Spring 2014 scene is set. Filmmaker Robert Nethery captures models Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Bette Franke and Frida Aasen in the collection’s smart silhouettes, with Miami and Opossom’s Blue Meanies song as the sunny backdrop. From abstract florals to classic navy and white, there’s one word that comes to mind: fresh. It’s all clear blue skies from here.
Clean lines and higher hemlines — our Spring 2014 collection channels the easy glamour of the French Riviera in the late Sixties. A little ladylike, a lot of effortless cool — with crisp whites, classic stripes and abstract florals.

With London Fashion Week off and running, we talked to former New Yorker Brooke Metcalfe, who set up her home base there with her husband, entrepreneur and Pret A Manger founder Julian Metcalfe. As CEO of Brit costume jeweler VICKISARGE — whose bold designs are a favorite of Kate Moss, Emma Watson and Beyoncé — Brooke is especially well-equipped to share an insider’s guide to the city’s hidden gems. Here, her suggestions for cocktails, dancing and even between-fashion-show culture.
He’s Buying Director. She’s Fashion Editor. Justin O’Shea and Veronika Heilbrunner both work at the Munich-based online shopping destination Mytheresa — which means they mix business with pleasure. Here, we get both sides of the story.

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.

“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

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.
