Head to the MoMa, New York's Museum of Modern Art, for the penultimate day of New York Fashion Week, where designer Tory Burch presented her fall-winter 2025-2026 collection. With 42 well-thought-out looks, she delivered a successful performance with eclectic silhouettes. Indeed, being a Tory Burch woman means wearing jogging pants but also a pink satin dress.
This daring balance was at the heart of a reflective show on the place of clothing in the United States but also on the porosity between sportswear and the global fashion industry. After being ostracized by society, the sports wardrobe is regaining its reputation thanks to redesigned trucker neck sweaters and sweatpants. For the occasion, OniriQ traces the 3 striking trends of this fashion moment…
1. Zipped collars
Funnel neck, trucker neck, zipped neck... There are many names to define this little zipped detail, the leitmotif of the Tory Burch fall-winter 2025-2026 fashion show. This is not surprising for the designer, who is undeniably attached to this “essence of sport” that she infuses into her timeless pieces.
Here, the trend is for a high collar, which also covers the neck from the inconvenience of an icy climate. Sometimes in bright red, sometimes in mustard yellow, this comfortable felted wool sweatshirt is perfectly cut with sleeves that cover the hands (a stylish effect, don't you think?). Worn on its own or under a coat that is three times too big, the zipper adds a real sportswear touch to our everyday uniform. A bit boyish, the high collar is also placed on a leather jacket, more classic but still as irresistible as ever…
2. The combination of a skirt and a tailored jacket
Tory Burch is a New York fashion house which, since its creation in 2004, has always sought to redefine American luxury. Consequently, the designer continues to spin the metaphor of this preppy woman with the allure of Lily van der Woodsen. Noble materials, tailored suits à la Christian Dior, grandmothers' brooches straight out of the 1950s and 60s... The classic imagination is omnipresent, particularly through this recurring association of the skirt and the suit.
In addition to a host of iconic models such as Irina Shayk and Loli Bahia, this combo literally inhabits the collection, playing with materials and contrasts. A brushed wool skirt and a nuanced suit jacket combine for a most sophisticated pairing. We love this monochrome brown look (right) with its almost perfect proportions!
3. Multi-pockets
2025 is undoubtedly the year of pragmatism, as evidenced by the proliferation of pockets on clothing. Similar to the look of cargo pants, a big trend in 2024, multi-pockets are placed on a jacket or dress, just to increase storage space. Tory Burch therefore opts for the jacket as a support for its multiple details, as does Acne Studios with its bags.
In the utilitarian age, leather jackets are adorned with pockets in mini and maxi versions. The (very long) sleeves remain intact while the heart of the jacket seems to replace the tote bag. From now on, there is no longer any need for a reticule because the jacket takes care of everything. Women are liberating themselves and flooding the public space with their unfailing confidence.
