Designer
Tory Burch's decision to opt for a presentation over a runway seemed to grant her Spring 2010 collection more justice- a fact I attribute to the attention to detail and the role of texture in her collections, elements often lost in the movement and spotlight of a runway show. This season was all about casual elegance-- printed shorts with blazers and button down shirts with skirts were on repeat, and the
sequined dress/nylon anorak pairing was perhaps the coolest way to get that "oh, I just threw this on" look everyone seems to be after. In terms of texture, its use was limitless-- scalloped embroidered shorts, perforated skirts and jackets, playful boucle coordinates, and unconventionally placed pleating added up to one collection we can't wait to get our hands on.
