Since founding her eponymous label 20 years ago, American designer Tory Burch has become a global powerhouse known for bestselling accessories such as the Reva flats and the Pierced mules, as well as her impeccable taste. Born in Pennsylvania, the globe-trotting designer – who this year was named on Time’s annual list of “The 100 Most Influential People” – has called New York home for decades, and is widely admired for her philanthropic work and her support of female entrepreneurs. While her label has been always associated with a very East Coast preppy, boho-chic vibe, in recent years Burch has upped the fashion ante, delivering collections that have become the talk of the town at New York Fashion Week and beyond.
