Tory Burch is picking up the fashion-advice-giving reins from Rachel Roy this month, and will be moonlighting for InStyle's "Ask a Designer" column as of next week's July issue. WWD offers a sneak peek inside what the so-perfect-it-isn't-fair designer will cover, so spoiler alert: To a 35-year-old woman with two kids looking for a "timeless bag," Burch recommends Celine’s $3,250 Trapeze. To a reader asking what looks good on women with long torsos and short legs, she recommends "a high-waist skirt or a caftan." Democratic, no. Entertaining, yes.
