Tory Burch Shoes

Tory Burch is a luxury lifestyle brand defined by classic American sportswear with an
eclectic sensibility and attainable price point. It embodies the personal style and spirit of its CEO and designer, Tory Burch. Recognizing a void in the market for a sophisticated aesthetic at an attainable price point, Tory wanted to create stylish yet wearable clothing and
accessories for women of all ages.

Tory Burch was launched in February 2004 as a lifestyle concept with multiple product categories, including ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes and jewelry. Going against the minimalist trend that was popular at the time, Tory designed her flagship boutique, in downtown
New York, to feel more like a room in her own home than a traditional retail store.
Key design elements featured in all boutiques include orange lacquer doors,
mirrored walls and Lucite fixtures.

In October 2009, Tory Burch eyewear was launched in partnership with Luxottica Group. The collections has a classic yet modern feel that reflects the unique spirit of the brand. Tory wanted to create a collection that was not only distinctive, but also well-made and accessibly priced.

Tory is greatly influenced by the unique personal style of her parents Buddy and Reva. She is also inspired by her love of art, music, culture and travel, which is reflected in the collection. Graphic prints, bold colors and unique details are all signatures of the brand.

Tory Burch has received several awards from the fashion industry, including the 2008 CFDA for Accessory Designer of the Year; 2007 Accessory Brand Launch of the Year from Accessories Council of Excellence; 2005 Rising Star award from Fashion Group International. Tory was named one of Forbes’ Most Powerful Women in the World in 2010. Blake Lively,
Cameron Diaz, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow and Hilary Swank
all wear the Tory Burch collection.

In 2009, Tory launched The Tory Burch Foundation to support the economic empowerment of women and families. Through grants and microfinancing for women entrepreneurs, the foundation invests in the success and sustainability of women-owned small businesses. Through mentoring opportunities, it provides women with tools to achieve their aspirations as entrepreneurs and leaders. Please visit toryburchfoundation.org for more information.

Born and raised in Valley Forge, just outside Philadelphia, Tory graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania with a degree in art history and moved to New York to pursue a career in the fashion industry. She 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 is available at freestanding Tory Burch boutiques across the U.S., Europe, Middle East and Asia, toryburch.com, and over 800 select department and specialty stores worldwide.

Converse History

The Beginning

Sometime in 1908, Marquis Mills Converse decided to start a rubber shoe company, bypassing a rubber trust that prevented most companies from doing business directly with their retailers. Early catalogs bragged about how many trucks left the Converse factory in Malden, Massachusetts, delivering product directly to stores in Boston. Mr. Converse’s idea worked. But more importantly, it survived.

1908-1918

In 1913, Converse produced a catalog with the following words: “Our company was organized in 1908 fully believing that there was an earnest demand from the retail shoe dealer for a rubber shoe company that would be independent enough not to follow every other company in every thing they do.” Those words would prove prophetic. Always a brand for those independent enough not to follow, the young company would take up with a young sport: Basketball. Also, Converse made tires. But the basketball shoes gained more traction.

1918-1928

Chuck Taylor joins the Converse Rubber Company. How it happened remains lost to history, but the reason isn't: Chuck Taylor loved basketball and desired nothing so much as to spread of the word of the new game and sell the sneakers it required. By this point, the All Star shoe has been introduced and features the distinctive diamond pattern sole.

1928-1938

By the time he lent his name to his signature badminton shoe in 1935, Jack Purcell had won five consecutive Canadian championships and been declared the world badminton champion. The Jack Purcell sneaker retains the legacy of its namesake and the feel of his sport.

1938-1948

World War II provided Converse with a singular opportunity. Many products destined for servicemen overseas now became a focus of Converse manufacturing. The product range included footwear, apparel, boots for pilots and army servicemen, parkas, and rubber protective suits and ponchos.

1948-1958

The invention of Rock & Roll. It was loud, lewd, filthy and everything everyone who feared it said it was. It was also a movement in search of a uniform: It found the leather jacket, the blue jean and the high-top sneaker. Interestingly enough, right about this time, the high-top sneaker was around for the birth of something else: The National Basketball Association.

1958-1968

A decade of change — for everybody. Rock & Roll and pro basketball grew up (in Chucks), and All Stars finally came in colors. In tumultuous times, legends are born — and from a green and white basketball team to a British invasion, from rooftops to alfalfa fields, Converse was along for the ride.

1968-1978

Somewhere right around 1974, the All Star sneaker got a little bit of a makeover. Remade in colorful suede with a big, bold star on the side, it was built for basketball—but there was something about its brashness and brightness that would make it irresistible to a generation of rockers, skaters and rebellious souls. Then around ’76 came the Pro Leather, an instant favorite in a time when the game needed a vibe.

1978-1988

An immediate on-court favorite, the Weapon sneaker became almost universally favored by professional, college and high school teams throughout the 1980s and ’90s. In 1986, Converse launched the “Choose Your Weapon” ad campaign, featuring two of the game’s biggest rivals wearing one of the game’s biggest shoes. Over 20 years later, the legacy of Weapon — and its place in sport and culture — continues to challenge the competition.

1988-1998

First came Grandmama. That was a big deal. Then, in 1996, Converse had a hit on its hands with a basketball shoe called the All Star 2000. It was the first attempt at replicating the Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker for contemporary competition, and there was something about its ankle patch, red midsole stripe and no-nonsense approach to the game that at least 1 million people couldn’t resist.

1998-2008

The brand enters its second century by honoring its heritage of seeing things a little differently, loving people who want to change the world for the better, and basically celebrating the spirit of rebellion and originality in basketball, Rock & Roll and anywhere else you find it.
And there you have it — for now… The best stories are the ones that don’t end — the ones you just keep adding to and adding to — all the while marveling at the creative, disruptive, optimistic, courageous ways things evolve from being what they were, to what they are, to what they will become.

Own Justin Bieber’s DNA for $120

Want a piece of Justin Bieber, literally? Like on a cellular level? You can.
A Canadian website is selling a pendant that contains the DNA of its country’s national treasure, according to Canada.com.
The head scientist at the company is Ryan Lehto – and we use that term “scientist” loosely. He claims that his employer “obtained his hair DNA due to popular demand and because we like that he is Canadian and how he went from YouTube to an international superstar!” How intellectual of the “scientist” to reveal that The Biebs’ nationality determined their decision to sell his DNA.
So did they yank a strand from The Biebs’ head while he was trapped in a crowd of fans? Did they break into his house and swipe strands from his hair brush? Did they get it on the black market, if there is such a thing for Bieber contraband and genetic material? Did they get it from Mariah Yeater, the woman who claimed that The Biebs fathered her son? See where we are going with this…
The pendants, which make us think of the time when Angelina Jolie and her then-hubby carried vials of each other’s blood around their necks while apart, comes with a $120 price tag, a silver box chain and a certificate of authenticity.

Justin Bieber ‘Boyfriend’ Video Co-Star is Married (And Therefore Not a Threat to Selena Gomez)

Justin Bieber woos a beautiful brunette in his ‘Boyfriend‘ video, with many fans commenting on her physical similarities to his real life GF Selena Gomez. Gomez and Beliebers needn’t worry about the actress, Rachel Barnes, swooping in like Bieber bangs and stealing their man. Turns out, Barnes is married and therefore not a threat to Gomez. In theory, at least.

In what can amount to a pre-emptive strike and a move to curry favor with the ardent Bieber fanbase, Barnes shared her relationship status, since Beliebers tend verbally and digitally attack anyone or anything they perceive as a threat to them or their hero, which is one of the pros and cons of a young fan base. They are digitally minded and reachable, but can resort to online terror.

Barnes told TMZ that she is off the market and that the chemistry the two exhibited in the sexy vid was “only for work” and did not spill over into real life.

“Justin and Selena are adorably inseparable and I, myself, am already married,” Barnes said. She declared, “I’m a Belieber, but he’s not my boyfriend.”

Barnes also mentioned that the Beliebers haven’t put a bounty on her head yet, saying, “It’s been great to be a part of the Bieber madness … even if only for a song.”

There you have it, Beliebers and Justin-Selena supporters. Barnes is married. We’ll play devil’s advocate and mention that Jennifer Aniston probably thought the same thing about Brad Pitt when he stepped on the ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ set with Angelina Jolie. And you know how that went.

We kid, we kid. Biebs and Sel are rock solid, and so are Barnes and her man. Maybe they can double date.
