The Tory Burch Resort 2023 collection site at the intersection between evolution and preservation.

Iconic elements — tunics and tracksuits, pleating and corsetry, tweeds and florals — have been deconstructed and re-envisioned with new perspective, confidence and ease. Contrast plays out in the juxtaposition of materials: humble against noble, tech against hand-done, while a balanced, restrained and bright palette draws attention to expressive detail and embellishment.

A sense of play permeates the season with the raffia tassels that accent the baggy cargo pants she paired with a sleeveless tweed peplum top or the two-piece dress consisting of a little wrap shirt over a yoke-waist skirt with lots of volume.

Most experimental are a pair of party looks whose tops and skirts are cut on the round with zig-zag edges trimmed in beads. In mismatched but complementary floral prints, these outfits put the emphasis on craft and quirk.

Construction drives evolution with techniques both traditional and modern, creating new silhouettes and separates designed for convertibility. An invitation for individuality and experimentation — the core of American sportswear.
