Inspiration du Jour: Tory Burch

Tory Burch is the epitome of style, business savvy, and class. Her clothing line tells a story with every new luxurious addition. Imagine lounging poolside at a vintage boutique hotel with a drink in one hand, double T logo tote in the other, draped in a beautiful orange embroidered tunic. Attending a garden party surrounded by tea light candles, guests wearing bright A-line skirts and dainty embossed sandals. Possibly, a roof top bar in Manhattan, socialites clad in sequin shift dresses; their jeweled hands holding tiny sleek clutches.  When a clothing line inspires me it is because the line tells a story. I can clearly imagine who is wearing it, where she is going, and what her life is like. I believe that this is the true test of any clothing line. If it does not tell a story then chances are it is dull, lifeless, or unoriginal. The best thing about Tory Burch is that it creates an image of a dazzling lifestyle that women cannot wait to be a part of.

Brilliant Karl

The House of Chanel is based on tradition, just like the iconic suit that bears its name. “The very name Chanel defies all concepts of time.” (Daniele Bott) Coco Chanel is the foundation of that name. She is the fabric, body, and silhouette. If Coco were the silhouette, then Karl Lagerfeld would be the extravagant trim. He took a classic, timeless, iconic palate, and gave it the power to influence yet another century. No one does Resort like Lagerfeld!
