Personally, I’m most excited for Ports 1961, La Perla, J. Mendel, Oscar de la Renta, Isaac Mizrahi, and Betsey Johnson – all of which, along with a lot more, will be covered on The Fashion Spot. As for events, they’re kicking off on the first night with the L’uomo Vogue and John Varvatos fete - where Alberta Cross is slated to perform (and Guns 'n Roses) - at the Varvatos space in the Bowery Tory Burch, and continue throughout the week with an endless slew of promo events and after-parties. Among the the highlights are the QVC party taking place in the lobby of the tents on Saturday, February 13th in support of Fashion for Haiti and the Timo Weiland after-party taking place at hot spot du jour, The Wooly, where a special performance by The Postelles is slated to take place.

Tory Burch’s Plan to Open 100 Stores Is No ‘Vanity Project’
By Cotten Timberlake
Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- When Tory Burch Shoes opened her first women’s apparel and accessories store in downtown Manhattan in 2004, her goal was to have three. Today, she has 25 locations and plans an additional 100 namesake stores worldwide in the next three to five years.
Burch is seeking a location on Madison Avenue in New York, and plans openings in Rome and London this year, she says in the Feb. 22 issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine. She also is in talks with a potential unidentified partner to develop a cosmetic and fragrance line.
“There were a lot of eyebrows raised when I said I wanted to start this company and many people thought it would be a vanity project,” the 43-year-old entrepreneur said. “But I had an idea that something was missing in fashion.”
Burch identified a market for youthful, easy-to-wear, and affordable fashion for women age 25 to 40, neglected by other apparel companies chasing younger customers, says Kathryn Deane, a fashion industry expert. After a career in public relations and marketing with designers Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang, Tory Burch started her business with former husband Chris Burch with an initial investment of $2 million, according to people familiar with the company.
Burch says she generates enough cash flow to fuel growth at the New York-based company, whose items mostly sell for about $195 to $595. She runs a profitable, debt-free business, she says.
‘Polished And Ladylike’
Last year, the Burches and other investors sold a 20 percent stake to Mexico City-based Tresalia Capital, an investment firm run by a granddaughter of one of the founders of Grupo Modelo SAB, Mexico’s largest beer company, according to people familiar with the transaction. The Burches jointly and equally control more than 50 percent of the business, the people said.
Burch’s look is “polished and ladylike” with a “cool retro 1960s-1970s vibe” that is updated with her own modern sensibility, said Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Group Inc.’s fashion director.
Burch says she partly derives inspiration from travel. A blue-and-yellow splattered white wall she saw in India last year inspired a print for items including skinny jeans. Burch will present her fall collection on Feb. 17 during New York’s Fashion Week.
Deane, who retired from her role as president of New York fashion-consulting firm Tobe Report in December, estimates Burch’s revenue will rise to $1 billion in five years to 10 years. Sales are projected to jump 36 percent to $300 million in 2010, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.
‘Accessible Luxury’
Burch, who majored in art history at the University of Pennsylvania, opened her first store in downtown Manhattan’s Nolita district in February 2004 with a spring line.
During the economic downturn, she sold for $400 to $500 an experience similar to one that cost $2,000 to $3,000 elsewhere, said Robert Burke, founder of the luxury consulting firm Robert Burke Associates in New York.
“It’s a lot about accessible luxury,” Burch said. “That’s what women are relating to now. There is resistance to excess.”
Her audience has broadened. The $195 Reva ballet flat shoe, sporting Burch’s double-T logo medallion and named after her mother, attracted teenagers, she says. Her figure-forgiving embellished tunic tops -- a silhouette she seized on in a Paris flea market -- attracted older customers, including Oprah Winfrey, who tipped them among her favorite things in 2005.
Burke remembers hearing about Burch when she was working out of her apartment. Burke, who was fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman at the time, invited himself over and saw she had figured out the logo, the store design, the fashion.
“She thought it through, soup to nuts,” Burke said.
Saks, Nordstrom
Her collection debuted at Bergdorf’s in her second season, and is now sold at 450 specialty and department-store locations around the world, including Saks Inc. and Nordstrom Inc.
She benefited from the product-sourcing contacts of her former husband as well as her industry friends, Burke said. Her clothes are made in China. In 2005, the year she says she turned profitable, she lured Brigitte Kleine from Michael Kors to be her president.
Burch’s title is co-founder and chief creative officer, and Chris Burch is co-founder. They divorced four years ago after a 10-year marriage.
Now 56, Chris Burch started a sportswear line called Eagle’s Eye in 1976 while he was a student at Ithaca College. He now runs his New York-based firm, J. Christopher Capital LLC, and says he has invested more than $100 million of mostly his own money in ventures that have included Aliph Jawbone wireless accessories.
‘Good Partners’
“We’ve managed to get through all of our differences and become good partners,” she says.
Burch’s clothes aren’t to everyone’s taste.
“It’s nice to have one or two pieces from her line but if you have a bunch, you scream ‘Tory Burch,’ because she does use that medallion logo on a lot of her things,” said Jennifer Prentice, 42, a medical equipment saleswoman in Minneapolis.
In April, Burch will open a store in Seoul after debuting her first international locations in Tokyo and Manila in December.
A too-rapid own-store expansion could pose a financial risk, by saddling her with locations that are both a drain on earnings and a distraction, said Steven Dennis, president and founder of Dallas-based SageBerry Consulting LLC.
“We’re pretty smart financially,” Chris Burch said in an interview. “We’re very conscious of not getting ahead of ourselves.”

There I go again, feeding my classy black and white addiction like the sick person I am. I can't help it. Tory Burch's grained leather tote is irresistible, and I am not strong enough to ignore it. This is also how I feel about Justin Bieber music, and Cadbury Cream eggs. The Tory Burch Edye Leather Tote has eggshell and black leather with gold hardware and a perfect little fold-over flap with buckled tabs at the sides. I love the overall look of this bag. It's casual but still ultra sophisticated and gives a bit of extra class to a bag that could be worn anywhere from your kid's soccer game to lunch with clients. It's roomy enough for everyday but won't make you feel like you're lugging a 9th graders book bag around (which are seriously heavy, someone should work on that). Versatile, but original, this bag has my vote in the spring 2011 bag race. Net-a-Porter for $495

You might think that running a wildly successful fashion brand and being a single mother to three children would leave very little time for much else. But Tory Burch manages to do all of that and help women in need. She recently hosted her first Tory Burch Foundation mentor event, and she sat down to talk to us about it.
HP: You Can you tell us a little bit about the event?
TB: The Kids Tory Burch Flats empowers women through microfinance domestically -- but entrepreneurs also need advice and guidance.

HP: Who are the mentors that attended?
TB: People who have been successful in their respective fields, such as Emily Rafferty from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Jessica Igoe from American Express and Vera Wang's Mario Grauso.
HP: What kind of advice did the mentees need?
TB: They discussed everything from challenges and worries to business strategies and how to take their companies to the next level. Some women talked about e-commerce, while others talked about financial plans. It was an open forum for entrepreneurs to ask anything they wanted about their businesses.
HP: What advice did you give to the budding entrepreneurs?
TB: The most important advice I can give is to have a unique Tory Burch Reva Flats point of view and have the tenacity to follow through.
HP:Who are/were your mentors?
TB: My family has always been incredibly supportive. I've also been lucky to work with amazing people in the fashion industry, and I learned a great deal from each job I had.

Designer Tory Burch's Southampton home on the market for $17.9M.
Following her October purchase of a 25-room Georgian mansion in Southampton, womenswear designer Tory Burch Shoes is looking to trade in her oceanfront contemporary home, now on the market for $17.9 million. The 6,000-square-foot home, set on 4.5 acres on Meadow Lane, also in Southampton, has six bedrooms, a pool and 200 feet of ocean frontage. Burch bought the property for $22.5 million from her ex-husband in July 2008 and has received approval from the town to tear down the home and rebuild a larger one in its place. While that plan hasn't materialized for Tory Burch, the property's new owners would still be able to take advantage of the approved proposal for a new house if they choose.
Savitt signs Tory Burch to 52,000 s/f at 11W 19th.
The fashion company has extended its 26,000 s/f lease and inked a deal for an additional 26,000 s/f of space on the eighth floor of the property, where il houses its corporate headquarters and showrooms. The new transaction brings Tory Burch's total occupancy in the property to 52,000 s/f. "We have loved being a part of 11 West 19th Street, and we are thrilled about expanding to the eighth floor next year. The building has unique architectural details, and it is located near some of the best restaurants and stores in the city," said Tory Burch Shoes, CEO Tory Butch LLC.
The Savitt Partners team of Bob Savitt and Carol Sacks negotiated the multi-faceted, 11-year lease expansion and extension on behalf of the building ownership, 11 West 19th Associates, LLC. Cushman & Wakefield brokerage professionals Dan Preate and Jamie Katcher represented Tory Burch in the negotiations.
"We are proud to have one of the hottest and fastest growing fashion companies continue as a long-term tenant in the property," noted Savitt.
"Tory Burch's decision to both extend and expand its presence at 11 West 19th Street speaks to the continued demand for quality, well located Flatiron District properties, particularly among growing firms in creative industries and the ownership's commitment to providing the best in tenant services."
Built in 1902 and situated in the heart of the Chelsea-Flatiron District, the 280,000 s/f property offers full floors of 26,000 s/f and entrances on both 19th and 20th Streets.
The property has a newly renovated lobby with 20-foot ceilings, on-site property management, updated elevators, 24/7 building access, lobby attendant and is conveniently accessible to many restaurants, shops and modes of transportation.
In addition to Tory Burch, the building's prestigious tenant roster includes Nautica, Epsilon Interactive, LBi, VF Sportswear, Lillian August, Mergermarket and Zio, a new contemporary Italian restaurant located on the groundfloor retail space.

Rue La La Hosting Five-Day Tory Burch Boutique to Feature Limited Edition T-Shirts to Benefit Red Cross Relief Efforts in Japan.
Japan Relief Boutique to Open at 3pm EDT on Tuesday, March 22, at Tory Burch BOSTON, March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rue La La, a leading private sale shopping destination, announces that it will host a unique boutique featuring special-edition Japan Relief T-shirts created by Tory Burch Shoes.
"The earthquake and tsunami in Japan triggered a need to help in all of us," said Ben Fischman, chief executive officer, Rue La La. "We are honored to provide an opportunity for our members and employees to make a difference. We are truly inspired by Tory Burch's response and believe that by bringing Tory Burch together with our members, we can generate a powerful means of support for the American Red Cross and the people of Japan."
The Tory Burch boutique will open at 3pm EDT on Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at www.ruelala.com/tory. It will remain open for five days, longer than a traditional Rue La La boutique, which lasts for 48 hours. All net proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross to benefit earthquake and Pacific tsunami relief efforts in Japan.
"Our hearts are breaking for our family, friends and the millions in Japan and around the world affected by this devastating disaster," said Tory Burch, CEO, Tory Burch LLC. "We want to do whatever we can to help this strong, resilient country."
The Tory Burch Japan Relief T-shirts were inspired by the national flag of Japan; they feature rows of flags mixed with a heart motif. Tory Burch first posted the graphic to the Tory Blog with a message of support to those affected by the disaster. The positive response from fans and readers was immediate. It inspired the company to turn the design into a t-shirt.
Shortly thereafter, Rue La La and Tory Burch arranged for a special online boutique to extend the access to the Japan Relief T-shirts by making them available to Rue La La's 3.2 million-strong community of members allowing for as much support as possible for relief efforts.

We are truly inspired by Tory Burch's response and believe that by bringing Tory Burch together with our members, we can generate a powerful means of support for the American Red Cross and the people of Japan."
The Tory Burch boutique will open at 3pm EDT on Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at www.ruelala.com/tory. It will remain open for five days, longer than a traditional Rue La La boutique, which lasts for 48 hours. All net proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross to benefit earthquake and Pacific tsunami relief efforts in Japan.
"Our hearts are breaking for our family, friends and the millions in Japan and around the world affected by this devastating disaster," said Tory Burch, CEO, Tory Burch LLC. "We want to do whatever we can to help this strong, resilient country."
The Tory Burch Japan Relief T-shirts were inspired by the national flag of Japan; they feature rows of flags mixed with a heart motif. Tory Burch first posted the graphic to the Tory Blog with a message of support to those affected by the disaster. The positive response from fans and readers was immediate. It inspired the company to turn the design into a t-shirt.
Shortly thereafter, Rue La La and Tory Burch arranged for a special online boutique to extend the access to the Japan Relief T-shirts by making them available to Rue La La's 3.2 million-strong community of members allowing for as much support as possible for relief efforts.

Tory Burch possibly launching menswear line
Famous female clothing designer Tory Burch, known for her signature “T” emblem, fabulous flats and bright fun patterns, is toying with the idea of starting a men’s line.
Currently Tory Burch Shoes only offers women’s clothing and accessories, but she said in a talk at the French Institute Alliance Francaise that she wants to expand into menswear. According to WWD, the line would be inspired by her father’s wardrobe during her youth.
During the talk Tory Burch also expressed interest in creating a full scale fashion show during Fashion Week in NYC. She currently only has presentations of her new clothing lines, not fashion shows.
Burch also joined the ladies of “The View” on Friday for their segment “Friday Fashion” and while she didn’t confirm her menswear line on the show, she did show off some of the latest looks from her collections.
The designer launched her clothing line in February 2004. The label grew from Burch working from her home with a handful of employees to a global company with 45 stores and over 800 employees.
