Presented in Isamu Noguchi’s hanging garden in New York, the collection explores the psychology of dressing through a collector’s eye.
The collector’s eye as a guiding thread
“Opulent femininity meets American pragmatism, seen through the collector’s eye. Spring/Summer 2027 explores the psychology of how women put their outfits together. They want beauty, utility and humour — the joy of dressing,” says Tory Burch, introducing her Spring/Summer 2027 collection, presented within the setting of New York’s Isamu Noguchi Sunken Garden.
The silhouettes are organised around sporty knits, skirts worn low on the hip, drawstring trousers and patch-pocket shirts, which provide a backdrop for the season’s rich palette and ornamental details. Opera coats are cut with the ease of a favourite trench, while precise tailoring is slightly off-kilter.
Materials and palette: exploring texture
The materials explore texture, depth and pattern: masculine wool fabrics are lightened with silk, papery cotton is dyed and washed, and wallpaper-like jacquards are lined with contrasting silks and cut threads. Beach-style terry is interpreted in chenille, while crêpe de Chine is glazed for a liquid drape. The palette expresses colourful optimism through unexpected pairings: coral, turquoise, purple, mint, vermilion and butter yellow, set against deep browns and cool neutrals.
Metallic embroidery, puff-pastry-like flocked cardigans and polka-dot yarns multiply the ornamental effects, while hand-painted feathers are tufted onto scarves, draped around shoulders or bags for an exuberant touch.
Bags, shoes and jewellery: reinventing the house’s vocabulary
The new Lee Radziwill tote takes inspiration from the humblest paper bag, with ultra-thin handles, while a soft shoulder bag is framed by clasp pouches. The house continues its partnership with Marasim’s Indian artisans for its handwoven tote, offered in new colours and patterns. On the feet, open-toe pumps and Venetian-style mules wrap and pleat elegantly around the foot; hand-braided leather dresses refined strappy sandals, while delicate flip-flops are embellished with mother-of-pearl, pearls and faux shark teeth.
In jewellery, the classic pearl necklace is reinvented with stacked resin beads, knotted nylon and articulated brass spheres that open to reveal stones. Sunglasses reference sport with metallic speed-style frames and offbeat protective goggles.
A show conceived as a complete staging
The show took place in the hanging garden designed by sculptor Isamu Noguchi, a setting steeped in architectural history that places the presentation in a dialogue between fashion and art rather than in a mere backdrop. The soundtrack, produced by Wladimir Schall, combined tracks as different as “Bad Moon Rising” by the Reels, “The Perfect Girl” by Mareux, “In Rhythm – Extended” by Scream and Dance and “Total Control” by the Motels — a musical choice reflecting the collection’s own professed eclecticism.
Founded in 2004, Tory Burch has redefined American luxury with a global perspective; the collection is designed in its New York studio and encompasses ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, jewellery, accessories, beauty and home.
This Spring/Summer 2027 collection continues the identity Tory Burch has built since 2004: a women’s wardrobe that refuses to choose between elegance and functionality, driven by an artistic direction that embraces humour and joy as aesthetic qualities in their own right, rather than secondary accessories to an otherwise serious collection.
