The girliest girl, even grown up, will always love Kate
Spade. The spring 2015 presentation of
this label was an indoor garden party.
The backdrop was a fantastic wall of paper flowers. The ground was carpeted in real grass (and
dirt).
Chief Creative Officer Deborah Lloyd has kept the feminine,
tongue-in-cheek spirit of the original brand in this fashion show. The models were outfitted in graphic, pop art
floral prints, bold colors like poppy red, grass green, white, black and
hyacinth. The designers added subtle
athletic influences that you could see in color blocked silk tunics reminiscent
of 1920's sportswear. There was one look
with a model in a green and white print coat and hat that I swear was the
spitting image of the Kate Spade mascot illustration from the 1990's.
I think more fans are familiar with the handbags of this
brand than the clothing. There were
whimsical wicker bags in the shape of crabs and frogs. Cute clutch handbags were decorated with
witty eyelashes. Big carryall totes have
been a signature shape for Kate Spade.
On a recent Twitter chat about beauty trends at NY Fashion
Week, I posed a photo of the manicures at this show. Models sported white nails with a thin black
line through the center. Simple, graphic
and a big hit online.
I personally love my big weekend bag that I now use for my
laptop. No doubt a few spring pieces
will also end up in my sister’s collection as well. (Bags, she will claim I “gifted” to her but
she bought for herself). Once a Kate
Spade girl, always a Kate Spade girl.
