Tory Burch’s top 10 style finds: from NYC hangs to Jackie Kennedy’s sister Lee Radziwill
- Poor Things, Milan Kundera’s novels, Dr Barbara Sturm skincare, Raffles Singapore and her own brand’s Pierced mules all make the US designer’s list of favourites
Since founding her eponymous label 20 years ago, American designer Tory Burch has become a global powerhouse known for bestselling accessories such as the Reva flats and the Pierced mules, as well as her impeccable taste.
Born in Pennsylvania, the globe-trotting designer – who this year was named on Time’s annual list of “The 100 Most Influential People” – has called New York home for decades, and is widely admired for her philanthropic work and her support of female entrepreneurs.
What I’m watching, hearing and reading
Poor Things was sublime – the sets, the writing and, of course, the costumes. I recently discovered The Great Women Artists podcast by Katy Hessel; she interviews historians and artists, and recently featured one of my favourite contemporary artists, Karon Davis. And I just re-read Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, a book I have loved for years.
The Instagram accounts I can’t stop following
I love pet and animal-related Instagram accounts, like @thedodo. I’m not into doom-scrolling … I look for uplifting content.
My daily skincare routine
I generally have a less-is-more approach to beauty – and on some days, more! Before work, I layer a few Dr Barbara Sturm skincare products and a tinted sunscreen. If I have an event in the evening, I’ll do my make-up at my desk – a smoky Nars eyeshadow or shimmery aubergine liner.
