On Monday night, Tory Burch debuted their newest line of elevated essentials at The New York Public Library. Tory Burch’s Fall Winter 2024 collection reinvigorates daily wardrobe staples such as jackets, trousers, slips, hoodies, and trench coats, infusing them with sensuality through carefully fabricated silhouettes. Similar to the way in which a handbag is contrived, seams are raw-cut, heat-sealed, and bonded to hold sharp corners while preserving lightness, giving the garments a sense of romantic airiness. Angular dresses and skirts are modeled to mirror the soft volume of a lampshade.

The brand experiments with various materials and unconventional textures to reference everyday essentials. Their sartorial nod to a shower cap is a lacy slip dress debossed in paper leather and flowery nylon, smocked and twisted to emphasize curves. Each look is enhanced through the art of accessorizing, with wraparound sunglasses, jewelry made from clusters of glass fruit, Pierced pumps, 3D-printed miniaudières, and shopper totes, turning something as monotonous as an everyday errand into sublime experience.
