Walking into Kate Spade’s office to preview its Fall 2026 collection feels like stepping into a Pinterest mood board that’s come to life.
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.

Kate Spade is celebrating their upcoming 30-year anniversary with their stunning spring 2023 collection. The unveiling took place yesterday on the 78th floor of the world trade center, in a gorgeous airy room where you could see the whole city at any angle. Trailblazer and Tiktok sensation Dylan Mulvaney hosted the show as she gave viewers an exciting look at the latest installment. The collection was designed by Tom Mora and Jennifer Lyu, and it “reflects the beauty of spring and the adventures that come when you least expect them…like the simple pleasure of getting caught in the rain,” they said. While keeping the feel of Kate Spade’s heritage brand codes, Mora and Lyu teamed up to give the collection a new perspective and feel. The colors are bright and the designs are partnered and so much fun. It’s truly a beautiful representation of the little things in life, and it’s sure to be a reminder of the joy in life for anyone who wears the collection. There was one bag that started it all for Kate Spade, and this season the brand has decided to reimagine it for this new generation. The Sam bag is recreated with all new fabrics and a new look brought to you by 100% recycled materials.

To channel the feeling they set out to create, getting caught in the rain, it was quite literally raining inside on the 78th floor. The showcase featured lines of models standing along a grass-filled runway with baloon-made clouds on top of them. The rain came from the clouds on either side of the runway, and there was even a flash of light to represent lightning every now and then.

Kate Spade held their FW19′ New York Fashion Week show on Friday, February 8th and I got a backstage look and all the NYFW excitement.
Kate Spade is making a major comeback, under the helm of Creative Director Nicola Glass. Bringing new energy, Glass presented a collection bursting with color, life, and most importantly, fun.
The playful and chic silhouettes compliment the collection’s bold attitude, calling to the 60s and 70s for inspiration. Juxtaposing intense hues are soft lavenders and delicate pinks. Florals make a large appearance while keeping the impact minimal yet meaningful.
Statement pieces are leveled out by more modern forms, such as a belted pantsuit and patterned knitwear. To no surprise, accessories elevate the looks, with headscarves playing a major role in the presentation.
The show is the first since the shocking death of founder Kate Spade since her passing in June. In an interview with WWD, Glass says she aims to get back to the heart of the brand, one rooted in bright colors and vibrant patterns, and “define a new modern image for the Kate Spade woman.” She succeeded in this, bringing together a collection that embodies just that. Glass is stepping into the role of Deborah Lloyd, who left in 2017 after 10 years with the brand. While Glass has been in the role since Lloyd’s departure, the Pre Spring 2019 show was her debut collection.
Kate Bosworth, Suki Waterhouse, Gillian Jacobs, Julia Jones, Priyanka Chopra, and Chloe Bridges were all in attendance at the New York Public Library.
The event was sponsored by Fjii water.
The Ghetto Film School Roster held their Beyond Fashion Panel Event at the Museum of Moving Image on Thursday, November 3rd.
