The designer takes Wonderland <\/em>through\u00a0<\/em>her fantastical, French cinema-inspired S\/S14 collection.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For spring\/summer \u201914, Tory Burch drew on her love of the films of Jean-Luc Godard, and in particular his 1969 work La Piscine. The film sees Romy Schneider at her glacial best, languishing in a St. Tropez villa with her lover Alain Delon, and teen seductress Jane Birkin. Visually it\u2019s perfection, and the collection drew on this South of France poolside feel, with a white base over which botanical illustrations climbed in a rather languid manner. Said piscine<\/i> was also suggested by vivid blue accents. Romy would have approved.<\/p>\n What is it about Romy Schneider, and in particular La Piscine, that inspired your Spring collection?<\/b><\/p>\n Romy Schneider is incredibly chic but in an understated way. She brings a sense of strength and elegance to her character Marianne in La Piscine<\/i>.<\/p>\n Is French cinema a passion of yours?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes, I love Jean-Luc Godard’s films in particular – he has an amazing eye and a unique cinematographic style. My taste in movies is pretty eclectic-I watch everything from Pierrot le Fou<\/i> to documentaries like Sound City<\/i> and comedies like There’s Something About Mary<\/i>.<\/p>\n La Piscine takes place in the ideal 1969 holiday villa in the South of France – where is your perfect vacation spot?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n There are so many fantastic places, but there is nowhere quite like Italy, from the vineyards of Tuscany to the craggy cliffs of the Amalfi Coast.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n What are some of your favourite looks from your Spring collection, or if you can’t choose, what pieces are you most excited about?<\/b><\/p>\n I love our blueprint, botanical, folly and Queen Anne’s lace prints in a crisp palette of green and white. We experimented with different techniques, from photographic to hand-painted patterns, paired with cleaner silhouettes and proportions.<\/p>\n What was the thinking behind the bags attached to a belt? We like them very much.<\/b><\/p>\n We thought about the ease of a hands-free bag mixed with the cool of a hip-slung belt.<\/p>\n Why do you think your designs strike a chord with so many women? We see your iconic T logo on chic types everywhere.<\/b><\/p>\n We have an eclectic and diverse sensibility and design things with that in mind. We also think about our collection as a lifestyle and offer a range of different options. There is something for women of all ages and personal styles, whether your look is minimalist, eclectic or bohemian.<\/p>\n
