“For Fall/Winter 2017, we found inspiration in the fearlessness and irreverence of Katharine Hepburn’s character in The Philadelphia Story. Her outdoor glamour combined with a confident femininity creates a modern take on the familiar style of my own roots in Philadelphia. We played with the idea of Fair Isle knits, barn jackets and winter whites and thought about contrast, creating variations on a theme: plaid tweeds, prints and enlarged in shearling. Accessories complete the story, from bow shoes and soft men’s briefcases to a pendant necklace inspired by my father’s cigarette lighter.” —Tory Burch
