Tory Burch‘s woman belongs to a distinctly New York species: one part Joel Meyerowitz photograph, one part Substack phenomenon. She’s a fabulously eccentric Big Apple fixture who looks to Amy Fine Collins and Leandra Medine for contemporary inspiration, while keeping one eye firmly on Claire McCardell and the generation of 1940s womenswear designers who helped define the language of American style.
That blend of wit, intelligence, and easy elegance runs throughout Burch’s resort 2027 collection. The clothes are full of charming surprises, from a wallpaper-print raincoat to a beautiful dress with a faux-dickey neckline that makes it look as though a beloved sleeveless T-shirt has been casually slipped underneath. The styling never feels forced; rather, it captures the kind of woman who gets dressed for her own amusement first and everyone else’s admiration second.
And that cropped brown animal-print jacket? Future vintage, without question.
