Tory Burch Presents Fall 2026 Collection
Tory Burch's Fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection was presented at New York Fashion Week. The show was highlighted as a showcase of a team-oriented approach to American luxury. The collection's editorial styling was noted for being both accessible and aspirational.
- The collection, presented at the New York Public Library, marked the brand's 20th anniversary and showcased a creative departure that has been dubbed the "Toryssance." This shift is largely credited to Tory Burch stepping back from the CEO role in 2019 to focus exclusively on creative direction, with her husband, former LVMH executive Pierre-Yves Roussel, taking over as CEO. - The design process for the ready-to-wear pieces was approached with handbag construction techniques, using methods like raw-cut, heat-sealed, and bonded seams to create architectural shapes that are surprisingly lightweight. This focus on innovative construction reflects a broader strategy of purposeful, long-term growth and a diversified global sourcing strategy. - Unconventional and technically advanced materials were prominent, including paper leather, tinsel raffia, faux croc, calf hair, and crushed nylon. The collection also featured a 3D-printed faux acetate version of the Fleming minaudière, showcasing an integration of technology into their accessory offerings. - Key silhouettes included angular, "lampshade" inspired dresses and skirts, alongside sheer mesh skirts and vinyl bodysuits, signaling a more experimental and sensual direction for the brand. This creative evolution is supported by stylist Brian Molloy, known for his work with The Row. - Accessories played with the theme of elevating the everyday, with jewelry featuring clusters of glass fruit and cuffs that mimicked shopping baskets. The word "sublime," a key theme for Burch, was woven into a scrolling stripe motif on handbags and tights. - The front row featured a notable list of celebrities, including Uma Thurman, Natasha Lyonne, Awkwafina, Emily Ratajkowski, Barbara Palvin, and Alexa Chung, indicating a strong celebrity and influencer pull. - The Fall 2024 ad campaign was shot in Lisbon, Portugal by photographer Jamie Hawkesworth and featured models Mona Tougaard, Vittoria Ceretti, and Chu Wong, highlighting key accessories like the Pierced pump and the T Monogram handbag line.
