Last night, Kate Spade New York and NYLON toasted the season with “Holiday Duo-ets,” a celebration of music, fashion, friends and the sparkling art of gifting. Held in the Chateau Marmont Penthouse, long the home of icons, whispers and wild nights, the suite was transformed into a glimmering winter dreamscape for guests.

The Spirit of “Spark Something Beautiful”
The experiential evening echoed Kate Spade New York’s holiday campaign, “Spark Something Beautiful,” which invites all to rediscover the delight of gifting — and of simply being together. Looking for the best Hanukkah and Christmas gifts to wow friends and fam this season? The Duo bag, both a fashion statement and metaphor, embodies that ethos: two compartments, one story, countless ways to connect.

“There’s something truly magical about the holidays, especially when shared with friends. Collaborating with NYLON to bring our ‘Holiday Duo-ets’ celebration to life was the perfect way to capture that spirit,” said Kaisy O’Reilly, SVP of Marketing at Kate Spade New York. “From our guests to the music to the DUO bag at the center of it all, the evening beautifully reflected the joy of connection and the magic of gifting that defines the Kate Spade New York holiday season.”
