Tory has always had an eye for design and she began her career in the industry working for well-known fashion designer Zoran and Harper’s Bazaar magazine. She began to move up the ranks when she worked in public relations for industry leading companies such as Vera Wang and Polo Ralph Lauren. All the while she was gaining valuable, well-rounded experience in all aspects of creating a successful business in the fashion industry.

In February of 2004, Tory launched her first Tory Burch retail store in Manhattan. The store could barely keep product on the shelves! It was then she knew she had struck home with women interested in a new style of preppy, chic wardrobe for all seasons. Her brand caught the eye of none other than Oprah Winfrey and the Tory Burch website received 8 million hits following Tory’s guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005.

In addition to her retail stores, Tory’s fashion line is also carried in over 3,000 department and specialty stores around the world. In 2009, Tory created the Tory Burch Foundation which provides young businesswomen with small business loans and entrepreneurial training programs. She is currently listed at #73 on Forbes’ list of The 100 Most Powerful Women.
