A role model

One of my role models is fashion designer, Tory Burch. Tory Burch 

has risen to uber success and it has only taken her a couple of years to do

so. Her first store opened in New York in 2004, and she has been rising 

to the top ever since. I admire her for her business approach as well as her

incredible line of fashion. I would describe her style as classic chic. She

does a lot of 60's and 70's inspired prints, however, all of them look chic

and fashionable, not throw back. By far, she is most famous for her 

signature ballet flat, the Reva. I love that she named the shoe after her

mother, Reva. Burch was never formally trained in fashion design and

almost all of her designs come from inspirations that hold a place in her 

heart. For instance, the Reva flat, inspired by her mother, as well as many

of her other designs which are inspired by her father. 

I personally think Burch is an amazing woman. She is this business 

tycoon, who has the guts to put her own name on her brand as well as a 

mother to her 3 sons and 3 step-daughters. Burch is always in the spotlight

and is looked like as a public icon as well as a fashion designer. Her success

is a true inspiration.
