The sudden loss of Kate Spade has shaken not only the fashion world, but so many others who admire the sunny, quirky designer, particularly young career women. Her name and signature style became a colorful force and fashion, a go-to red carpet look for lots of celebrities.
"A sense of style that permeated absolutely everything she did, from her accessories to the clothing, to the way she put herself together, to the way she decorated her homes, an inspiration, in every single way." Kate grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, never went to design school. Hers was the classic story of a mid-western girl who had big dreams and managed to find them in New York City.
