Tory Burch: Behind The Business
Tory Burch has turned the dated label of “socialite” on its entitled head. As both the designer and CEO of her eponymous company (which launched with one New York store in 2004 and was boosted by an endorsement from Oprah in 2005), Burch has created a global lifestyle brand based on her enviable mix of pedigree and all-American breezy elegance. She recently opened her 70th store at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre—her first in Canada—and is developing her brand’s debut fragrance with Estée Lauder.
