Held outside Tory Burch’s flagship store in New York’s legendary Soho neighborhood, the infamous cobbled stoned Mercer street was turned into a makeshift runway amid a jubilant block party, complete with savory delights and a plethora of vendor stalls. A celebratory feeling was in the air and the weather could not have been better. Celebrities intermingled with regular folk with many local area residents joining in the festivities, as referenced by a conversation I over heard “dude look out your window’ humorously uttered by a spectator behind me. This sense of celebration was happily reflected in this joyful, yet wonderfully functional collection.
—think Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday
Tory Burch stated she has been inspired as of late by the legendary American sportswear designer Claire McCardell who was even credited for inventing this modern-day approach to apparel. Claire McCardell was known for creating functional yet flattering clothes, her classic sundress with it’s full skirt and fitted top often paired with flats went on to became a staple look in the late forties and fifties—think Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. And much like the mid-century post war years, after having to ration for so long; fashion today, as we slowly emerge from the pandemic, is embracing a more opulent esthetic with a liberal use of fabric in vibrant colors and playful textiles. This silhouette of fitted waists and tops, full skirts and ballet flats was at the core of Tory Burch’s collection of SS2201. To read more head to Hauturely.com

Great post Allie, and love the designs. I haven’t seen Roman Holiday in so long!
What an absolutely beautiful collection! I adore everything!

You described these attractive designs beautifully, and these
photographs at the cobbled Mercer Street fashion show are fabulous.
I’m very glad she styled the ballet flats with her designs. I would imagine that trying to negotiate those cobblestones in heels could be a nightmare.
I like the looks achieved with the pretty fitted bodices in contrasting complementary shades of colour, giving some of her designs looks reminiscent of outfits featuring lingerie as outerwear.
The full airy skirts and dresses look very pretty, and the patterns and tailoring complement the pretty fabrics beautifully. I especially love:
The pairing of the checked blouse having the one shoulder gathered paired with the flowy green skirt having the black suspender-belt-shaped panel at the hips (7th to last photo?), and;
The patterned mini-cutout white fabric on the lower part of the dress in the last photo.
Fabulous fashion show coverage and photos!
How lovely, Allie! I can tell from your words in this post your excitement and joy at this fashion show. This new collection, from the examples above, looks gorgeous! I am loving the patterns and colors! Plus that Roman Holiday feel! I love Audrey Hepburn’s style. So classic and chic! Happy new week!

If anything, the pandemic has forced brands to think on their feet more — love the idea of a neighbourhood fashion show. The colours and volume have such a sophistication to adore.

Hey Allie,
I liked these proposals. I think Tory Burch has a really good eye when it comes to mix prints, colors and going beyond the obvious pattern! I used to have some sneakers by the brand and the quality was really good.
I can really spot inspiration from Audrey Hepburn in some of these pieces. Specially in the silhouette. Everything looks so dreamy and I hope to see more from this fashion house!
Best, xx

Beautiful silhouettes in these styles! What a brilliant runway location too. I am sure this show brightened up the day for many passersby.
This was such a perfect setting for her collection:) I love how everything is so wearable. Even though I’m not a big green fan, I must admit I love all the pieces with this colour in it, esp. the one with the corset. Definitely very Audrey Hepburn-esque.
Thanks for sharing, Allie.
