The Iconic 't' Stands For Twisted In Tory Burch's New Collection At New York Fashion Week

Tory Burch not only put her own twist on American sportswear in her new fall/winter collection at New York Fashion Week - she made it "twist-ed," with exaggerated shapes and details, a splashy backdrop and memorable music.

Known for her classic lines and splashes of color against neutral tones, Burch says her inspiration for Monday's show was "twisted American sportswear," her way of taking expected pieces and adding unconventional details and pairings.

"It was sort of a literal and figurative take on the word 'twisting.' I loved the idea that sportswear was created in America," Burch told The Associated Press after the show.

"I - wanted it to give people the ability to have a second glance when you look at something. It has more depth than when you first perceived what it would be. And whether that's in the luxurious yarn that you use or the sophistication of an interesting cut line and drape ... It was an exploration of that - of how do you twist things that make it more desirable?"
