Tory Burch Fall/Winter 2026 continues to set precedence – dressing women the way women want to be dressed, to make them feel empowered, uplifted and liberated.
In retrospect, fashion is stitched in memories. Nostalgia forms silhouettes. Generational heritage and history shape history — bringing a new narrative defined through one’s own stories and experiences.
This season, Tory Burch explores technique and proportion while honouring the enduring timeworn artisanal heritage. In her own words: “Cardigans gilded in badla embroidery, hand-done by Indian artisans; plush corduroys inspired by my father’s in apricot and saffron: Shetland wool sweaters brushed and washed to airy softness; drop-waist dresses undone at the seams. Sharp tailoring and sportswear thrown by leather-wrapped shell earrings, sardine pins and handwoven leather and raffia bags.”
Inspired by the iconic horticulturist, Bunny Melon, who was once Jackie Kennedy’s gardener, Tory Burch introduces the Bunny Knot detail — a detail inspired by a quilted cushion she found in her Antigua home. “The simple knot is a reminder of connection, strength and unity,” adds Tory.
In essence, Miss Tory knows what women want and how they like to dress today. There are no rules, just sensibilities. On the moodboard, photos of Bunny Mellon and Tory’s father, Buddy, who believed “classics become interesting with your personal take” anchor the design narrative.
Look 1 sets the tone. The utilitarian sweater and pencil skirt accented with a woven belt and a sardine pin; a combination that screams modernity with style. The same sweater, in various colours, is styled differently to show flexibility in its ready-to-wear repertoire. Tory Burch emphasises on tactile materials — corduroy, leather and wool — to give the pieces its enduring quality.
Trenches and cardigans are coveted. Looks 4, 6, 10, 13 and 16 make up the everyday staples for the Fall weather. Complementing these looks, the quilted shoulder bags, featuring a new Bunny Knot detail in leather and metal, punctuate the runway with visual interest.
Soft duffles reference vintage military dopp kits, alongside a new Charlie satchel. Tory digs deep to memories growing up with hand-woven raffia and leather bags inspired by the ones she carried in high school — proving time and time again that memory is a powerful tool for inspiration.
Looks 20 and 34 in particular stand out. The trench-like structure with a lower neckline and oversized shape doubles as a relaxed dress. As the season gets colder, its wearer can easily layer up and style it as their own. Another head-turning piece is Look 22 — stunning sheen for all the right reasons.
As the show progresses, my breath stops at Look 38. The round coat with metallic badla embroidery hand-done by artisans in India beckons a rich tapestry without looking overwhelming. Dresses are also draped and tailored to accentuate the women’s body — sexy yet confident, sensual yet structured.
In the shoes department, the roundness and volume of ladylike pumps is juxtaposed with cut-out loafers, flat boots and high-vamp heels with angular Bunny Knot hardware. Even at the show, Bunny Knots pepper the seating cushions — very subtle, very chic.
As an observer, the collection proves one thing — wearability has a lasting staying power that keeps you reaching back to these pieces over and over again. It is like looking back at the way my mom dresses in the 90s — power tailoring and gorgeous silhouettes that goes from office to daily life. Tory Burch Fall/Winter 2026 does exactly that and more.
