5 things Jenna Pilant LOVES about Kate Spade.
1. Kate Spade was a woman who wasn’t afraid to put her own name on the line.
2. As one of the most powerful female American contemporary designers of the ‘90s, Kate Spade changed the way we all viewed accessories.
3. Kate Spade encouraged us to live more COLORFULLY and to leave a little SPARKLE wherever we go.
4. Kate Spade was fearlessly cheerful with her lifestyle brand and built a fashionable cult-like following with her clothes and accessories that made it hard for a woman not to smile.
5. Being a born and raised Nebraskan, I also loved that Kate Spade was from Kansas. She went from Midwest roots to designing something so much bigger than one woman. It made me believe that if she could do it, one day I could do it too.
Kate Spade Brand Success Story here ! excerpt: "Our story lives in the tradition of all of the spirited, madcap heroines who have come to New York City and made it both the inspiration for and the location of their story," says Kristen Naiman, Kate Spade's vice president of brand creative. "So if you think of the heritage of Sex and the City, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Nora Ephron, and Joan Didion, it's all of those women that come to New York looking for that story, and it's the adventures that they have along the way that truly comprise it. We're in the business of telling that story: the imperfect journey, and the perfect dream."
