No doubt you’ve heard of—or even shopped—the massively successful fashion brand founded by our guest, Tory Burch. But what is it about this trailblazing fashion designer that’s earned her a spot on Time magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World? From humble beginnings to global acclaim, Tory's journey is one of resilience, innovation and unwavering dedication to women in business.
Just five years after launching her lifestyle brand, she started the Tory Burch Foundation aimed at advancing women’s empowerment and entrepreneurship by providing access to capital, education, and community. Among its initiatives, Tory’s foundation has partnered with Goldman Sachs to provide business-education grants, mentoring and much-needed networking opportunities. They’ve also partnered with Bank of America to provide $100 million in low-cost loans and mentoring support to more than 5,500 women entrepreneurs.
Tory has served on several boards, including the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Startup America Partnership and the Barnes Foundation.
Whether you're a seasoned fashion enthusiast or simply curious about the stories behind the seams, Tory’s story is sure to inspire and enlighten. We’re proud to have had a long-standing partnership with Tory at Nordstrom and we look forward to the work we’ll do together in the future.
