Jane Rosenthal On… The Tribeca Film Festival
It’s Day 1 of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. We asked Jane Rosenthal — who co-founded TFF in 2002 with Robert DeNiro, her Tribeca Productions partner, and husband Craig Hatkoff — about the spirit of the festival, her motivation and where film-goers really meet after hours. My guiding principle when putting the festival together… […]

TB ♥ MJFF
“It doesn’t hurt that we both love orange” is how Michael J. Fox perfectly summed up his partnership with Tory Burch. Last week, Tory hosted a shopping event in support of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), where Michael, with his wife Tracy Pollan, spoke to guests at our Madison Avenue boutique about […]
Book of the Week: Lucy Danziger’s Drop 10
Lucy Danziger, Editor-in-Chief of Self, recently penned The Drop 10 Diet, reinforcing the idea of everything in moderation…including chocolate. She and Dylan Lauren, CEO and Founder of Dylan’s Candy Bar (above, left with Danziger) hosted a party to celebrate. We asked them about the merits of chocolate and more. Favorite recipe from the book… Lucy: Blueberry salmon dinner […]

To Do: Coachella
Music under the sun and stars — the yearly migration to Coachella in the California desert is underway, with nearby mid-century bungalows and white-washed safari tents swelling with friends. This year’s lineup has marquee stars and cult favorites. If you’re going, don’t miss the main stage and Mojave and Gobi tents. We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing…

Word of Mouth: Moonrise Kingdom
It’s been three years since we last sat in a movie theater and were swept away by Wes Anderson’s imagination (and soundtrack). We’ve been seeing previews and posters here and there of his latest, Moonrise Kingdom, a period romance set to open at Cannes in May. Mr. Anderson, welcome back. We missed you.
Tory’s Playlist: Sweet Dreams
Like lullabies for adults, here are some songs to help you relax, tune out and snooze…
Must Hear: Selah Sue
Belgian songstress Selah Sue wanted to be a ballerina, but the call of the guitar and heart-felt melody were too strong. Which is good news for those of us who love her smoky, reggae-vibe sound. Download: Summertime and Break.
Word of Mouth: Girls’ Allison Williams
Some are calling HBO’s new show Girls the Sex and the City for millennials. We call it darn funny and on-point no matter your age. And it has a pretty winning crew, from writer/filmmaker Lena Dunham and producer Judd Apatow to actress Allison Williams. We asked Williams, who plays Marnie, about the cultural phenomenon that is […]
Tory’s Playlist: Let’s Get Physical
From spinning to bootcamp to barre, everyone is working out. Here’s our playlist for keeping up the pace.
Pinterest: Beach Getaway
It was 70 and sunny last week, and today we’re in winter coats. Ah, fickle weather. No matter, we’ve got our Beach Getaway Pinterest page to keep us warm. See more…
Word of Mouth: Casa de Coppola
Palazzo Margherita, in Bernalda, Italy — the birthplace of Francis Ford Coppola’s grandfather — is the grand 19th Century home that Francis, Sofia and family have been restoring (with the help of Jacques Grange) since 2005. It’s the molto romantic spot where Sofia married Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars last year, and recently, Francis opened it […]
Book of the Week: Dior Joaillerie
Talk about eye candy. Since 1998, Victoire de Castellane has been mixing wit, whimsy and wonder in her fine jewelry designs for Dior. The new Dior Joaillerie book is an up-close look at Castellane’s craft and inspiration (she’s a fan of Disney!).
To See: Tory on Fashion King
Fashion King is the new Korean television phenomenon — and Tory has a cameo as a fashion school dean in this week’s cliff-hanger episode. The show stars Shin Se Kyung, Yoo Ah In, Lee Je Hoon and Girls’ Generation’s Kwon Yuri, and has won tens of millions of fans for its high fashion drama. Think Gossip Girl […]
Tory’s Playlist: SXSW 2012
Everyone’s back from Austin and raving about the great music at this year’s SXSW! Here’s a playlist of the bands we’ve been hearing about…some known, some unknown (before SXSW, that is).
Ask Tory: Stripes
Q: Horizontal stripes are such a big trend, but they make me look wide. How can I still wear them? — Chiara, San Francisco A: Think vertical! Up-and-down stripes elongate and are just as of-the-moment as horizontal lines. They’re flattering on everyone. I love cropped pants, but because I’m 5’4″, they don’t always work. I […]
To Do: The National Cherry Blossom Festival
A century ago, Japan gave the United States 3,000 cherry blossom trees as a sign of friendship. Today, those trees are a must-see for visitors to Washington D.C. during the National Cherry Blossom Festival (through the end of April) when they are in all their pink blooming glory.
Tory’s Playlist: The Clash
The Clash — when punk met dub met Motown met rockabilly. Somehow it all worked together. Sartorially speaking, we pay homage to their mix-it-up attitude with spring’s melange of prints.
Trends Decoded: The Clash (of Prints)
Spring’s bright prints are all about the clash. Here’s how to wear and pair multiple patterns. See the feature…
Word of Mouth: Kraftwerk
The most coveted (and completely sold out) ticket in town this spring is for MoMA‘s 8-night retrospective for German electronic band Kraftwerk, beginning April 10. The cult-favorite band is credited by fans and critics alike for inspiring everything from hip hop to house to the current electronica craze. You could even draw a direct line […]
To Do: Chelsea Editions
They say love is a fabric which never fades, but in the case of Chelsea Editions, fabric is a love which never fades. The New York-based textile house both designs original prints and meticulously recreates antique embroideries (some based off nothing more than small remnants of fabric from the 1600s). Here, some of our favorites.
Video: Spring Tweed
It might be spring, but we’re feeling the need for tweed. Our stylist shows multiple ways to wear our Marion Jacket and Curtis Dress. An editors’ favorite, this trend goes from ladylike to laid-back.
