From a linen and leather pant to a macrame tweed skirt, Tory Burch looked to one of the most important fashion icons of the 20th century for inspiration at New York Fashion Week: Princess Diana.
At Sunday’s show held at the Brooklyn Museum, Burch said she made sure “to be careful not to be too literal, because she’s clearly a style icon but that’s not what was so interesting to me.”
What was interesting, she said, was Diana’s humanitarian work, “her fearlessness, her being a mom that protected her family and just how strong of a woman she was.” Burch said she tried to capture that strength and style in outfits that included linen dresses with rope sashes, a wool sweater with a sequined collar and a silk twill skirt.
And, bonus, she put sneakers on her models with a range of looks in her spring-summer 2020 collection.
