  • Vogue Magazine the Glossy Has Spawned an Industry of Imitators, Two Documentaries, a Major Hollywood Film And, Perhaps Most Enduringly, a Modern Dance Craze
    Lookout By the Numbers Vogue Magazine The glossy has spawned an industry of imitators, two documentaries, a major Hollywood film and, perhaps most enduringly, a modern dance craze. Itís also gone through some serious changes over the course of its 121 years in print. In recent years, the fashion bible has traded willowy models for celebrities of all kinds, a trend that reached its apex in April when the left-leaning, Chanel-shaded Brit Anna Wintour (the magazineís seventh editor in chief) decided to put ó gasp! ó a reality star on its cover.

  • Less Than a Decade After Launching Her Own Label, Tory Burch C'88 Is
    Less than a decade after launching her own label, Tory Burch C’88 is one of the most recognizable names in fashion. Through mentoring and microloans, the Tory Burch Foundation is empowering other women entrepreneurs to follow in her footsteps. By Kathryn Levy Feldman From Brand to RoleModel a recent evening at Tory Burch LLC in downtown Manhattan, the resort collection of bright, classic, ON and preppy-chic clothing and accessories was not getting much attention from the 75 women gathered in the trademark orange-and-green showroom. In fact, the clothing racks had been pushed to the sides of the mirrored space to make way for 11 glass-topped tables, where the women—aged 20 to 60, and each the owner of her own small business—were engaged in a networking forum modeled on speed dating and organized by the Tory Burch Foundation and its micro-financing partner, Accion. The evening was one of about a dozen similar mentoring events Burch’s foundation has held in locations such as New York, Chicago, and Hawaii. Every 20 minutes, the women moved from table to table to tap the expertise of a different mentor in fields including (that evening) retail, hospitality, real estate, insurance, and marketing. Burch herself circulated among the tables, listening in on conversations and beaming. 44 NOV | DEC 2012 THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE PHOTOGRAPH BY PATRICK DEMARCHELIER From Brand to “I’m lucky to have had many mentors throughout my career,” Burch says.
