Inspired by personal archetypes and Bunny Mellon, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection proposes luxury based on structure, instinct and longevity.
The Fall/Winter 2026 collection of Tory Burch was presented at the Breuer Building, the current headquarters of Sotheby's in New York. The fashion show was based on two recurring references in the designer's repertoire: her father and Bunny Mellon.
The proposal investigates how clothes cross time and are reinterpreted in new contexts. Instead of rupturing, the collection works on displacement. Known elements appear with aspect ratio, material, and composition adjustments.
Corduroy pants inspired by Burch's father's wardrobe appear in new colors and are combined with wool knitwear and structured collar shirts. Tailoring maintains defined lines and communicates with accessories with a marked presence.
The braided leather belts cross the collection as a point of continuity. The manual construction and the recurrent use in the outfits indicate the intention to integrate function and ornamentation. Gray leather appears on skirts and footwear, expanding the brand's traditional palette.
The Bunny Knot bag takes up an object found in Bunny Mellon's house and transforms the detail into a collection code. Quilting and expanded hardware reinforce the idea of reinterpreting personal references on a contemporary scale.
Drop-waist dresses, influenced by previous decades, are presented in denser fabrics and with a less delicate construction than in previous collections. The change points to a less decorative and more structural approach.
In the production field, the brand reports that more than 95 percent of the leather used comes from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group. The company also integrates recycled materials and biobased alternatives into specific lines, in addition to maintaining the operations of Tory Burch Foundation in supporting women entrepreneurs.
The collection consolidates an already noticeable movement in the brand: returning to its own codes and adjusting them to the current moment. The result does not seek nostalgia or rupture. It proposes to continue with a review.
