1. Kate Spade
Deborah Lloyd has been the creative force behind Kate Spade for 10 years. For her final collection with the label, she took inspiration from Nashville, Tennessee when she transformed New York’s Masonic Hall into a grand country music festival stage. In tune with the theme, tons of embroideries, fringes, tassels, stripes, and polka dots adorned her pieces.
Among all the separates and prairie looks that were showcased, a peasant dress in different shades of blue was the standout.
What was missing in the collection? The whimsical accessories that made Kate Spade modern and fun. Yellow cabs and other New York references were curiously absent. I wish she finished her term on a high note, but I think this collection was just fine.
