Tory Burch's luxury line combines daywear and sportswear.

Tory Burch, the designer, says she's noticed that women don't want rules about what they can and cannot wear. Instead, they want to dress on their terms, and her new collection assists them in doing so.

With a dark, tech-knit track jacket with a sporty yellow stripe, paired with wool boucle pants, her first look on the runway set the tone for Monday's Fall/Winter show at New York Fashion Week.

Burch has combined daywear and activewear to reflect a new approach to fashion also  a desire for less structure also  more comfort without sacrificing style. Hand-beaded T-shirts also performance jersey quarter-zip pullovers emphasized the high-low fashion sensibility.

"I love sport, and we have a sports collection, but we need to look at it through a luxury lens, also  I see women wearing those type of things and mixing it for the evening, also that is kind of the interesting part," Burch said after the show in an interview.

"I started by just looking at women on the street in New York, and I've noticed a shift in the way they creativity and individualism," she said. "I thought it'd be fine."

The looks were dominated by black and earthy brown, but there were playful pops of bright colors like chartreuse and fire engine red. Burch said she was good by the Memphis design movement of the 1980s, which emphasized postmodern decor with abstract and asymmetrical shapes and bright colors.

"I was looking at Memphis and some of the pottery and carpets, but I also didn't want it to reflect a decade." "But I knew color, vibrancy, and joy had to be a part of it because I think we are all good to move on from the last two also a half years," she said.
