NEW YORK – Ready or not, here she comes.
Just when you think you know Tory Burch's next move, she subverts expectations and continues her reign as one of the most interesting American designers today.
The designer brought out a cadre of stars for her New York Fashion Week show Thursday, Sept. 10, at the Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi in downtown Manhattan. Though far from an underground designer, Burch took her show to subterranean levels before she reached new heights with her collection and her front row, which included a fashionably timely Lauryn Hill, flanked by daughter Sara Marley and niece Kymora Marley, as well as actress Amanda Seyfried, "Saturday Night Live" alum Chloe Fineman and fashion power broker Anna Wintour.
Alex Eala, the young newcomer who dominated at the US Open until her defeat by best friend and fellow young star Iva Jovic, also joined along with emerging talent Ravyn Lenae and established celebrities like Padma Lakshmi and director Janicza Bravo.
Hill, in oversized sunglasses and an olive-green cinched top and tiered skirt with a silk scarf draped delicately over her head, garnered camera flashes from every angle. Perched atop her lap (and on the arms of everyone in the front row) was Burch's newly released Bunny Knot bag, with Hill's in a ****** er yellow color with the dark knot detailing looking like polka dots.

Amanda Seyfried went for an earthy color palette while attending the Tory Burch spring 2027 show during New York Fashion Week on Thursday. For the event, the actress paired one of the brand's most popular shoes with a fall-ready brown-and-green look. Amanda Seyfried attends the Tory Burch spring 2027 show. Getty Images for Tory Burch She opted for the Tory Burch Peep Toe pump, which has been a favored choice among celebrities in recent years. The peep-toe pump riffs on the classic style with a twisted, sculptural heel, designed to look as if it is in motion. Rather than reveal several toes like a traditional peep-toe silhouette, the cutout frames only the hallux, or big toe — a highly specific footwear trend that surfaced at Copenhagen Fashion Week at the end of August. Grosgrain details and side seaming borrow from balletic pointe shoes. The pumps were made in partnership with a Leather Working Group-certified tannery, which supports high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management. Their twisted heels measure 90mm, or approximately 3.54 inches, while a cushioned leather footbed offers comfort. The shoes also boast a patent leather upper and grosgrain binding. Napa leather lining and a buffed leather sole complete the construction. A closeup

Few retail chains that filled malls in the 1980s and 1990s still exist today.
Teenage me could have shopped at Chess King for shiny shirts, visited Gadzooks for baggy pants, or gone a little classier and purchased dressier clothes at Structure. All of those chains were fairly, if not very, popular for a minute, and none of them exist now.
Former Tory Burch Chief Client Officer Francesca Danzi told Forbes that it's a major challenge for a brand to remain relevant across decades.
"Enhancing retail experience is key and goes beyond adding omnichannel capabilities that boost convenience. We are witnessing the rise of experiential retail that is reshaping the store of the future," she said.
Danzi does not see the so-called retail apocalypse as a crisis where stores are closing, but as an opportunity to right-size store portfolios.

Julia Burch once worried that three inches, or perhaps a few more, could stand between her and the career she wanted.
Standing 5-foot-3, the Canadian creator dreamed of becoming a fashion model and admired stars like Bella Hadid. However, after early conversations with modeling agencies left her discouraged about her height, Burch eventually found another route into the spotlight, one that allowed her to build an audience on her own terms.
Long before social media became her career, Julia Burch had her sights set on the traditional modeling industry.
The creator told The Blast exclusively that she looked up to established models, including Bella Hadid, and wanted the opportunity to follow a similar path. Her height, however, quickly became a source of concern as she began exploring the industry.
At 5-foot-3, Burch found herself confronting expectations that made her question whether the career she imagined was even possible.

From Travis Scott and David Harbour to Tory Burch, stars gathered at the 2026 US Open game dressed to their nines. Among them was New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye's wife, whose outfit grabbed fans' attention and is receiving tons of praise.
"Okay, outfit of the day going to the U.S. Open," Patriots quarterback Drake Maye's wife, Ann Michael Maye, said on her TikTok account. "My dress is this little white mini dress from Abercrombie. The sweater is J Crew. These little cute flats are from Marshalls, and then my bag is Distry. So, yeah, let's go. Okay."
This isn't the first time Ann Michael Maye turned heads with her outfit. She came to Santa Clara in 2026 to cheer for her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, as he prepared to face the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium.
For the big day, Ann Michael stole the show in a custom cropped navy Patriots jacket made by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk. The jacket had the Patriots logo, and she matched it with studded white jeans, a slicked-back bun, gold earrings, and oversized sunglasses.
Drake Maye's Patriots are worth following, especially with all the storylines brewing in New England. Subscribe for more interesting stories.

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose more than 3 basis points Tuesday to 4.79%. Driven higher by concerns over the latest flare-up in the war against Iran and its effects on fuel costs and inflation, the yield touched its highest level since January 2025 in trading during the day.
The continuing bond selloff has driven up government borrowing costs around the world. Eshe Nelson of The New York Times noted today that ******* an is seeing 10-year yields above 3% for the first time in 30 years and Germany now has the highest 10-year rates since 2011 (see the Times's chart below).
"A combination of factors are prompting investors to demand higher returns to hold government debt: a flood of borrowing by the world's richest nations, expanding budget deficits, persistent inflation and few signs that countries are able or willing to take steps to improve these conditions," Nelson wrote.
Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, chief investment officer of the Americas at UBS, said she expects to continue to see heightened volatility in the bond market. "With no clear path to reopening the Strait after six months of war, inflation worries remain elevated," she said in a note, per CNBC. "Uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's policy outlook, fiscal concerns, and rising AI-related debt issuance have all kept bonds under pressure."
Ed Al-Hussainy, a portfolio manager at Columbia Threadneedle, told the Times that it's difficult to "disentangle" the causes of the rate surge. "The only thing we can say right now is that they're all pointing in the same direction," he said, "and that's in the direction of higher rates, and they're doing it globally."

A Detroit Tigers pitcher has suffered a setback in his rehab.
Right-hander Burch Smith exited his rehab outing for Triple-A Toledo two pitches into his relief appearance on Thursday, July 23. He threw two fastballs to begin the top of the seventh inning, showing visible discomfort on both pitches, before walking off the mound and talking with a trainer.
According to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, Smith pulled himself out of the game with an apparent issue with his right shoulder. Smith will be evaluated for a potential injury in his shoulder and lat area, though the Tigers don't yet know the extent of the issue.
CHRISTIAN ROMO: A.J. Hinch doing whatever it takes for needed wins
"Obviously, it's never good when a guy has to call it off," he said. "So some concern there, but I don't have any update until he gets evaluated by a doctor."

There is always much debate about which royal relative the Prince and Princess of Wales' children look like. However, one photograph taken last Christmas finally settled the confusion when it comes to Princess Charlotte.
The young royal bore a striking resemblance to her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, during the annual Christmas Day walkabout at Sandringham in Norfolk.
Charlotte joined her siblings George, 12, and Louis, eight, and other senior members of the royal family for morning mass at St Mary Magdalene Church before greeting the public who had gathered in the church's grounds.
For the festive occasion, the young princess wore a two-toned beige and chocolate brown double-breasted coat, dark brown tights and ballet flats in the same rich colour. The coat was bespoke Catherine Walker, and her shoes were Tory Burch cap-toe, croc-effect suede, according to Royal Fashion Police's Instagram page at the time.
She pulled her long brunette hair back from her face and styled it in a half-up-half-down fashion, fastening it together with a brown velvet bow clip. Her look for the festive gathering appeared remarkably similar to that of her great-grandmother, who also visited Sandringham every year.

Detroit — He'd just got out of his car outside Comerica Park early Tuesday afternoon and immediately, he was beseeched for an autograph.
Welcome, finally, to the big leagues Ben Malgeri.
The Tigers purchased the contract of the 26-year-old right-handed hitting outfielder and he is expected to make his big-league debut against the Yankees.
He will replace switch-hitting utility man Trei Cruz, who was optioned back to Triple-A Toledo. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, right-handed reliever Burch Smith was moved to the 60-day injured list.
Malgeri's is a story of perseverance. Drafted by the Tigers in the 18th round in 2021, he has never carried the label of prospect. In his eight-year climb, he spent parts of three seasons in High A and in Double A.

Bristol City have appointed former Notts County and Forest Green Rovers boss Ian Burchnall as their **** istant manager.
Burchnall joins new head coach Michael Skubala's team having most recently worked under interim boss Peter Leven at Aberdeen last season.
The 43-year-old spent just over a year at Notts County and was in charge of Forest Green for eight months during their spell in League One during 2022-23.
He has managed in Norway with Viking FC and at Swedish side Ostersunds FK and held **** istant manager roles with Anderlecht in Belgium and Wolves under Gary O'Neil.
"Ian is a great first addition to my coaching staff and an excellent coach, having been a head coach and an **** istant manager across Europe, including the Premier League," Skubala said.

Tessa Thompson dug into Prada's early-2000s archive on Saturday, arriving outside the James Earl Jones Theatre in mauve rose mules that brought a Y2K finish to a crisp white shirt and black pedal pushers. Tessa Thompson wearing a vintage pair of two-toned Prada mules in New York City on Saturday. GC Images The vintage slip-ons mixed two shades of purple leather. Dusty mauve framed the sides of the square-toed upper, while a richer plum section covered the front of the shoe. Thin leather strips formed a knotted, rose-like detail at the center, with small leaf-shaped accents on either side. Visible stitching traced the embellishment and continued across the darker toe panel. The open-backed style sat on a gently curved heel that widened slightly towards the base.

GC Images The two-tone pop of color did most of the work against Thompson's spare black-and-white outfit. Her oversized collared shirt fell past the hips, while fitted pedal pushers stopped at mid-calf and left the mules fully visible. A berry-mauve lip picked up their muted palette, and a long Tory Burch shell necklace from the spring 2026 collection added purple
