I seriously could not be more obsessed with the Tory Burch Spring 2012 collection. I want every. single. piece. How unbelievably chic are these lookbook images?! Tory said that the collection is inspired by Deauville in the Twenties — sporty and polished with special details.
Deauville is a seaside resort in northwestern France that, since the 19th century, has been a fashionable holiday resort for the international upper class. Coco Chanel was famously inspired by Deauville. She frequented the area with her lover, Boy Capel, and opened a boutique there in 1913 where she introduced luxe casual clothes that were suitable for leisure and sport. Deauville was a honeymoon spot for Daisy and Tom Buchanan {of 'The Great Gatsby' fame.} It is also considered to be the inspiration for the fictional setting of Casino Royale.
It's easy to see how Deauville would be a wealth of inspiration for both Coco and Tory. I think I would be right at home there wearing their beautiful designs!
