A New Point of View
Nicola Glass
This season, Kate Spade had fresh, new direction under creative director Nicola Glass, who came to the brand in January from Michael Kors, where she designed accessories.
A Spade Sometimes Isn't a Spade
Our favorite pattern in the show was the novelty four-leaf clover print made of four spades (the playing card suit). It looked fresh on the first look — a shirt-dress with matching head scarf and choker. Our favorite bags were the big totes made up of, that's right, spades.
Loving Lilac
The color of the season at Kate Spade was lilac. It showed up in shoes, dresses and as accents throughout. We particularly flipped for the over-the-knee boots on Lineisy Montero.
Casting Is Key
The casting was super diverse, featuring fabulous faces like Lineisy Montero, Aya Jones and Aamito Lagum.
Location, Location, Location
The show was presented in the Celeste Bartos Forum of the New York Public Library, a classic New York fashion venue that a fixture of NYFW when it was hosted in Bryant Park.
