Tory Burch, Trendoid

tory burch trendoid.jpg Tory Burch has always had an under thread of youth culture humming beneath her hems: Those signature tunics swing a little bit hippie; those insipid ballet flats can be doused with black spray paint to look rather awesome; the MisShapes DJ her Fashion Week parties.


But now it seems her cool aftertaste might be rising more to the surface, at least according to her newest arrivals:

The boatneck Noisetta dress may claim inspiration in maritime fashion, but we've seen this shift before: On the Giles Deacon runway, in Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape video, and most recently, in the Kate Moss for TopShop collection.

Meanwhile, the blue blazer with piping...

Well, we don't even need to explain that one.

Maybe this is the time to note that Tory's two daughters are both college-age; one does studio art and the other interns for Proenza Schouler.

Guess she's been paying more attention to the girls and their friends than the women who frequent her shop.

If you were a fashion designer, wouldn't you want to create a few pieces in your collection that are trendy and would want to buy now. Basics are one thing but do you think that's what makes the big bucks? And if they're a public company, the bottom line?
