Some guests were seated on metal benches on the top of the two-story space and others were below in a stark white room with one wall of windows facing the street, and another a giant video screen showing skewed camera angles of the models walking and guests watching the show, giving off very big brother vibes.
Tory Burch not only put her own twist on American sportswear in her new fall/winter collection at New York Fashion Week — she made it “twist-ed,” with exaggerated shapes and details, a splashy backdrop and memorable music.
Known for her classic lines and splashes of color against neutral tones, Burch says her inspiration for Monday’s show was “twisted American sportswear,” her way of taking expected pieces and adding unconventional details and pairings.
“It was sort of a literal and figurative take on the word ‘twisting.’ I loved the idea that sportswear was created in America,” Burch told The Associated Press after the show.
Several utilitarian short jackets had multiple pockets, which Burch called “handbag jackets,” in black leather, denim, and one in fire engine red, paired with a brown skirt.
