Few designers know instinctively what women want to wear before they do. Yet, Tory Burch has always had the uncanny ability to peer into the future and unlock our unconscious desires. Her spring 2026 runway show, held at Sotheby’s at The Breuer, cemented her ability to bridge the liminal space between past and present. It’s a New Yorker’s take on day-to-day fashion: colorful, quirky, at times edgy—and all immediately wearable.
The collection unfolded over 39 looks, built around pieces that both brand loyalists and aspiring Tory girls will cherish and return to over time. Vogue readers get exclusive access to shop this first installment of spring, 24 hours before it lands in stores.
“I wanted to have some joy and optimism in this collection, just based on everything that’s happening in the world,” Tory Burch told Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway and Vogue Business in an interview after her show.
That sense of wonder and freedom translated on the runway in various forms, all codified with Tory Burch-isms that give thought to the smallest of details. Take the many knit polos for example. Featuring origami-like folded collars adorned with brooches, they were tucked into both slim-fit pants and low-slung skirts for practical polish—a new take on what to wear to work this spring. Ribbed knit bodysuits with dainty front bows were also a mainstay, paired with pleated drop-waist skirts and pointy kitten heel pumps for feminine ease. When incorporated in a modern wardrobe, these are the kinds of silhouettes that elevate, but also remain grounded in the needs of everyday.
