Tory Burch: Not Reinventing The Wheel, Only My Wardrobe
Tory Burch’s logo has always bugged me. It seems somehow derivative, although I can’t exactly put my finger on what of. The ballet flats that sported it largely and goldly, the ones that everyone went mad for, did nothing for me. I felt like I’d seen them, and that obnoxious big circle logo, before.
Come fall, I’ll have to just get over it, I guess. Because her collection was so perfectly wearable and buyable- despite being on the high end for my student budget- that I will absolutely be buying it up.
Burch is one of those designers who might never be described as “innovative” or “avant-garde,” and who I like all the more for it. Everything she sends down the runway is casual-cool, wearable, but with an individuality and such a clear “voice” that it never seems boring.
For Fall she showed her always-classic American sportswear with a touch of Paris sensibility. There was lots of outerwear- her signature little jacket was done in rich brown with crystal embellishments, and there was a coat in striped fur that I would murder my 1st-grade teacher for- as well as an eclectic, layered feeling that clearly evoked a madcap Paris afternoon. Her famous little sequin minidress returned, in new colors and with a different shape, but still guaranteed to be a hit.
She featured a few accessory trends I’d hoped we were over- Booties? Still?- but the opaque tights with wide croc boots and the mixture of cow-print bag and herringbone shoe felt fresh and appropriate. The outerwear was a standout, but all of Burch’s sportswear basics worked for me.
Feel both French and American with the rest of Tory Burch’s collection here.

I think the symbol that Tory Birch uses looks like a swastyka

Tory Burch’s logo is derivative. It is based upon the logo of Germaine Guerin, the parisian designer who is responsible for Chanel’s iconic 1955 handbag.

She is such a b&*U^&^ I met her at a luncheon in Atlanta and she was a nightmare
I think her stuff is actually pretty expensive for being made in china.

Its seems rather boring to me. Nothing too exciting in my opinion. Oh well I will move on

Random thought, but I’m a tremendous fan of Tory Burch shoes, mainly b/c they are sooooooooooo comfy! I simply love the ballet flats because they are so easy on my feet. They are so simple and I want to get some for my sister. Maybe I can spring them on her as a late birthday present. Keep up the stellar work. I loved the post!
