“As her business has grown, Burch has continued to address the myriad needs of her clients’ lifestyle,” says Jim Gold, CEO of Bergdorf Goodman, which was one of Burch’s first buyers. “It’s hard to believe that just five years ago we bought the collection from a small rack of clothes that she showed us in the den of her apartment.”
Which is why Burch is happy to let the scrutiny over her social connections and rose-tinted childhood fade. “I worked my tail off,” she says, breaking into a smile. “There’s no other way to get where you want to go.”
