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.

The movements of Pilobolus are smooth and flexible, representative of what the car can do and be used for(anything you can imagine)-for what ever shape life takes-
