Last week, the world lost a fashion icon, and I am truly heartbroken over it.
Designer Kate Spade died on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 of suicide. She was only 55 years old.
I know it may sound silly that I am mourning the death of someone I’ve never met, but even so, this woman had a remarkable influence on my life. And for that, I am feeling tremendous loss and immense sadness.
Yet, I am also feeling extremely grateful to have been introduced to the Kate Spade brand, a label so original, it exudes its own personality. It is a brand I have always worn, and will continue to wear, proudly and with great honor.
I know material things are not supposed to bring about ultimate happiness. But, I can honestly say that with each Kate Spade purchase I have made, and with each Kate Spade gift I have received, it has brought pure joy into my life. There is something magical about Kate Spade, and it all starts and ends with the woman herself.
And that is how she became my fashion, creative and inspirational icon.
