As the award-winning designer/power woman behind her eponymous brand, we're always dying to pick Tory Burch's brain. Her designs marry the whimsical and the wearable, the prep and the bohemian, and effortlessly blend the vintage with the new and now. You don't shop Tory Burch for just one thing — the collection spans dreamy red-carpet-worthy dresses, cool workwear, breezy Resort essentials, and chic athleisure, making hers a go-to line for the style set and the Hollywood crowd alike.
When we had the opportunity to chat with the designer herself ahead of the holidays, we tapped right into her expertise to find out just what to get the person who's impossible to shop for and what coat is actually worth the investment. Inside, Tory has all the practical seasonal advice you need, plus some insight into her brand and just what piece from her collection she's always wearing. Read on for everything you need to know.
POPSUGAR: How would you define your personal style and how has that shaped your brand?
Tory Burch: A bit classic, a bit sporty, a bit bohemian . . . and always evolving. Our collections reflect that mix — it's all about experimenting and trying new ideas.
PS: Anything you're constantly wearing from your own line — a piece you've designed that you'll never retire from your wardrobe?
TB: I love our tunics. I always remember my mom getting out of the pool, tying her wet hair back, throwing on a caftan, and looking incredibly chic. The first piece I designed for the collection was inspired by a $9 tunic I found in a Paris flea market.
