The Tory Burch brand was founded by the designer Tory Robinson, who after having worked first for Yugoslav Zoran and Harper's Bazaar, and later for Vera Wang, Polo Ralph Lauren and Loewe, decided to found her own brand to express her personal vision and aesthetics. It was on the occasion of New York Fashion Week in 2004 that Tory Robinson therefore launched the brand, initially under the name TRB by Tory Burch, and later renamed simply Tory Burch, flanked by the iconic logo with references to the preppy, which has always accompanies. The style proposed by the brand soon became popular in New York, managing to capture the style close to the boho chic of the period, then opening the first store in the Nolita district and reaching about 200 boutiques all over the world. In 2013 the brand launched its first fragrance and in 2015 Tory Burch's sportswear line called Tory Sport was produced. Following the launch of the brand's accessories line, for the Fitbit Flex activity tracking device, Tory Burch becomes the first fashion brand to introduce wearable technology. Designer Tory Robinson has been in full creative direction of the brand since 2004, supported by her husband Pierre-Yves Roussel, formerly of LVMH, in the role of general manager.
