Here at Grazia Daily we couldn't help but get on board when we heard about JPR Media’s new concept dinner club 'Woman Crush Wednesday', a celebration chosen to empower women and celebrate the success of those inspiring women in business, fashion, entertainment and media who have made a difference through hard work and perseverance.
All together 15 dinners were held in recognition of nominated female powerhouses, and when it came to choosing our candidate we immediatly thought of entrepreneurial billionaire Tory Burch, who created her own bohemian chic fashion brand Tory Burch LLC (valued at over $3 billion) in 2012.
In just 11 years, Tory Burch LLC started from a brand idea into a billion dollar company carried in over 3,000 department stores, 140+ stores worldwide, with an ecommerce site in 7 different languages, runway shows in NYC, a fragrance collection with Estee Lauder, and a collaboration with Fitbit Flex wearable technology.
What’s more, Tory Burch truly helps women succeed. Her two foundations – the Tory Burch Foundation and Elizabeth Street Capital help support women in business with loans, networking opportunities and mentor support. All in a day's work for the fashion mogul who humbly put it, "One of my greatest talents is recognizing talent in others and giving them the forum to shine.”
