Tory Burch In Color

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tory Burch sees the world in color, inspired by people, places, and ideas—all of which influence her global fashion and lifestyle brand, synonymous with print and color. In her first book, Tory Burch In Color (Abrams; October 2014; hardcover; $50), she explores the many things that living in color mean to her.

Tory notes: "This book is a kaleidoscope of my greatest influences and experiences, told through images and stories of the people, places, things and ideas that inspire me."

The book is organized by the colors that influence Tory's life and designs. Each color is represented through images of her own collections and travels; how she entertains; style icons; the works of artists, authors, and interior designers she admires; and the advice of business leaders—many of whom are interviewed within. The book also offers a glimpse into the more personal moments in Tory's life, such as family trips with her boys or the indelible ways in which her parents, Buddy and Reva, influenced her collection, company, and philosophy.

All gross proceeds received by Tory Burch LLC from the sale of the book will benefit the Tory Burch Foundation, which supports the economic empowerment of women entrepreneurs and their families in the United States through low-cost loans, mentorship and entrepreneurial education.
