Kate Spade Fall Clothing Collection


I have always loved Kate Spade handbags and have a fabulous collection of vintage Kate Spade I have been collecting since her debut collection. Over the years, she has done a smattering of clothes to complement her handbags and shoes, but these have been a side attraction. This is her debut clothing collection that will be available in her boutiques and upscale department stores like Neiman Marcus. Her new fall collection is FABULOUS-by far her most extensive and beautiful to date. It is so Mad Men circa 1960s yet Gossip Girl 2009 all at once! Whimsical and classic, retro and fun, it includes jeweled cuffs, big polka dots, lavender, lace, houndstooth, plaid, and cropped and big button coats. Stay tuned here this week for more looks from this glorious mod collection.

    I would wear all of this -- I'm so excited Kate is finally putting out a full line of clothing!

    Love the fun colored tights, too!

    Yes, please! And I adore the Mad Men-esque influence (especially after last night!)

    Cheers.

    I love Kate Spade! She has such a signature style and way of putting colors together that is so fabulous. I appreciate that she has never fled from her vision, but has expanded upon it. This clothing line is sure to be a hit!

    I'm with Averill, I want a pair or two of those tights! Off to check out her site now...

    Thanks for some cheerful fashion inspiration*

    The striped skirt (do you see a pattern here with me?!) and little fur cape are to die for!

    Glad to see that Deborah Lloyd wasted no time getting to work on the brand! I love the tweed looking double breasted coat! I wonder what Kate is up to since she sold the ompany.

    Heather-Kate and Andy are probably counting their money, and Deborah Lloyd has hit the ground running. This doesn't look like BR to me!
