The two-story, nearly 2800-square-foot boutique will be the company’s second location on Oahu and 58th boutique worldwide. It is scheduled to open in early November in Building B, fronting Kalakaua Avenue. The entire Tory Burch collection will be available, including ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, eyewear, jewelry and small leather goods. “We are thrilled to welcome Hawaii’s largest Tory Burch boutique to Royal Hawaiian Center,” said Rosalind Schurgin, CEO of The Festival Companies, which manages and leases the Royal Hawaiian Center. “Tory Burch brings an exciting fashion dimension to our world-class shopping, dining and entertainment destination in the heart of Waikiki.” The décor of the Royal Hawaiian Center boutique is inspired by CEO/CCO Tory Burch’s lifestyle concept. It reflects the iconic style of Tory’s boutiques, starting with signature orange lacquer doors. The space features classic brand elements—brass nesting tables, mirrored walls and moss green floors—while incorporating regional accents such as driftwood lamps, white washed oak flooring and plantation shutters on the exterior windows. There are special details exclusive to this location as well, including a Chinese Chippendale balustrade and plum ikat wall covering. Handbags, shoes and accessories will be featured on the first floor and ready-to-wear will be on the second floor. Tory finds design inspiration in works of art, photography, film, music and traveling. The collection is also influenced by her parents and their effortless sense of style. Graphic prints, bold colors and unique details are all signatures of the brand. Celebrity fans include Blake Lively, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, Uma Thurman and Hilary Swank. Born in Valley Forge outside of Philadelphia, Tory graduated from The University of Pennsylvania with a degree in art history. She moved to New York to pursue a career in fashion and has worked for some of the most influential American designers, including Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang and Narciso Rodriguez at Loewe. Tory currently resides in New York City with her three sons. Tory Burch has received recognition from the fashion industry since its launch, including the 2008 CFDA for Accessory Designer of the Year; 2007 Accessory Brand Launch of the Year from the Accessories Council of Excellence; and the 2005 Rising Star award from Fashion Group International. In 2010, Tory was named one of Forbes’ Most Powerful Women in the World. An avid philanthropist, Tory launched the Tory Burch Foundation in 2009, which empowers women entrepreneurs through microfinance in the United States. Women are able to start and grow their own small businesses, in turn enabling them to support their families, revitalize local economies and help their communities.

  • 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.

Post – IPO Investor Relations Activities © 2019, High Touch Investor Relations. All Rights Reserved Executive Summary Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present some ideas to you about capital raising for Tory Burch LLC. In particular, this report will focus on a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Tory Burch LLC, and why I believe the company is ideally suited for an IPO. While more research and analysis is needed, this document provides the starting point when assessing if and how to execute a potential IPO to ensure a successful capital raise. It will also provide guidance for post IPO investor relations to enable successful secondary offerings. The key points of my report are that: • I believe the company should be valued at $4 billion, which places it at the highest end of the luxury retail, apparel, accessories and footwear valuation table, and in-between its closest equity comparable company’s - Prada and Michael Kors • Operating under the assumptions that a) the company’s strategic direction requires growth capital to remain competitive and achieve objectives, and b) Private Equity and management owners may want to monetize all or part of their investment, there is an urgency to ready the company for an IPO so that it can go public within one year.

But perhaps we might not need to level the playing field after all. Maybe our focus should be to create a new one. With more than 224 million women entrepreneurs across the globe creating social impact, new solutions, and innovative products, they are a force to be reckoned with in our global marketplace – and have been for quite some time.

  • Giving Every Child a Place to Belong
    2020 JOURNAL giving every child a place to belong... 2019 Annual Report Enclosed To my JAFCO family, Driving into the JAFCO Children’s Village these past few months, I observed myself having what I thought to be a strange reaction to being in a leadership role during a global pandemic. On a personal level of course, I was devasted by the enormous, unprecedented loss of life and suffering happening in our world, and I found myself thinking about that a lot, especially while I drove to work on roads that were visibly empty. But then each and every day, something very odd happened the moment I swiped my access control card on the call box at the JAFCO Children’s Village entry gate. One would think that being responsible for three sites in Florida and one in Philadelphia, thousands of children and families, including 28 children living on campus, plus worrying about the health and safety of all of our staff and their families, over $1m in cancelled or re-scheduled fundraising events, our inevitable year-end funding deficit, finding enough masks and hand sanitizer and so much more, you would think that I would feel extremely worried, anxious and stressed. But on the contrary, the moment that I took my seat at my desk in my office and looked out of the window with a beautiful view of the Village, I felt an immediate sense of peace and calm and hopefulness. The pandemic was “gone”. I noticed this and privately I will share with you that I was concerned that maybe I wasn’t taking things seriously enough.

    A14 EZ RE the washington post . wednesday, april 14, 2021 EZ RE A15 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT WE STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. A Government of the people, by the people. A beautifully American ideal, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation’s history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything. However, regardless of our political affiliations, we believe the very foundation of our electoral process rests upon the ability of each of us to cast our ballots for the candidates of our choice. For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot. Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.

At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.

  • Inside the Art Production Fund's Beatnik-Inspired up Beat Benefit
    Online circulation: 11,510,000 VOGUE / UP-BEAT BENEFIT / MARCH, 13 2018 Inside the Art Production Fund’s Beatnik-Inspired Up Beat Benefit By Maria Ward | March 13, 2018 Kathleen Lynch and Casey Fremont; photo courtesy of Art Production Fund In New York, a trip through history is as quick as a cab uptown to the Seagram Building—the 38- story Ludwig Mies van der Rohe modernist marvel on Park Avenue where the Art Production Fund staged its Up Beat Benefit on Monday night. Inspired by the Beatnik movement, guests were transported to another time period—not least of all thanks to the jazz quartet in turtlenecks, sunglasses, and berets, who signaled the start of dinner at the former Four Seasons restaurant next door. Over cocktails, the scene was tailored not to the Beat Generation, but rather, to the two contemporary art world honorees of the hour: Jeff Koons and Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn. In one corner, for instance, a balloon artist crafted miniature dogs in a nod to Koons’s large-scale installations; across the room sat an impossibly decadent feast of fresh fruit, vegetables, and pastries fashioned after Koons’s Celebration series, which made for excellent Instagram fodder. Revelers delighted in capturing every visual, while others, celebratory glass of Dom Pérignon bubbly in hand, took turns at the temporary tattoo booth where “Beatniks” in striped tees pressed on impermanent ink by artist Nina Chanel Abney. All of the available designs proved a perfect complement to the “off-beat” dress code, which brought out an array of wonderfully wacky interpretations of black-tie.
