Kate Spade honoured at New York Fashion Week

A rosy hue washed over a room at the New York Public Library as models wearing vibrant pinks, greens and blues followed a winding silver line of glitter on a pink carpet. The shimmering line was an homage to the late designer Kate Spade at the New York Fashion Week show of her former brand.

When guests arrived on Friday, there was a note on their seats saying “she left a little sparkle everywhere she went. in loving memory 1962-2018.”

Spade killed herself in June. She was 55. She took her own life after years of battling depression and anxiety, according to her husband, Andy Spade. The two co-founded the company but sold it years ago.
