Tory Burch Spring 2012 Finale
...a daily dose of love notes from Americana Manhasset to you.
Tory Burch NYFW
According to Tory Burch’s show notes, the starting point for her autumn winter collection is “the idea of a girl who’s under the spell of the wrong kind of guy. She’s an innocent, unaware of her own sex appeal.” The clothes, fittingly enough, like the bejeweled loose chignons the models wore, were what one would expect: sweet and pretty, crafted from light and delicate fabrics like tulle, lace and organza. In what was easily her most beautiful and thoughtful collection to date, Burch didn’t shy away from embellishments; they were applied beautifully on cardigans, jackets (made from tulle rose appliqués) and evening dresses that might garner Burch a red carpet credit or three.
Set against a backdrop at Lincoln Center that was made over to resemble perhaps the Pierre or Waldorf Astoria, thanks to a floral wallpaper backdrop and custom catwalk rug in pale green and white with a geometric pattern, the ambience set the mood for the tale the clothes told. “The setting? The hotel where they meet,” referenced the notes.
But back to the fabulous clothes. One-part seductive, two-parts classic, a pearl-trimmed cardigan buttoned up the neck was perfection with or without the snakeskin bag trimmed with tortoise shell a model carried. Basics in Burch’s world, including knit cardigans with just a hint of sheen, leather looks hand-painted with an abstract plaid pattern and a series of sequined blue Prince of Wales check pieces (breathtaking given this is a contemporary line at the end of the day) really stole the show. Upping the ante, Burch also sent out a handful of evening looks that banked on intriguing fabric treatments, with a sublime green dress of tulle trimmed with a single velvet band at the waist a true knockout.

Tory Burch - Runway Review
Easily her biggest feat to date, Tory Burch debuted her Spring 2012 collection with a proper runway show at Lincoln Center. And what a show it was. Inspired by “The Great Gatsby” and the 1920s, it was chock full of the kinds of pieces her clients—both young and old—will desire come February. Separates were as versatile as ever, elevated, in many ways, and paired with below-the-knee pencil skirts (in fabrics from lace to fringe), cropped sweaters and cropped jackets. Yes, Tory did her take on Coco Chanel at some moments—but they were beautifully finished. Also new: a series of long, silk dresses with tie straps that will go a long way. At the end of the day, these are wearable, everyday clothes. Tory doesn’t pretend to be a couturier—and for that she’s achieved brilliant success.
