Nicola Glass is making waves at Kate Spade as she steps into the role of creative director, leading the iconic New York fashion brand into a new and exciting era. The Fall 2019 show, held at the renowned restaurant Cipriani, served as a platform for Glass to showcase her vision for the brand. The atmosphere was set with high-energy love songs playing as models sashayed down the runway in a delightful mix of 40s and 70s inspired glamour.
The collection was a celebration of vibrant and feminine designs in soft, delicate hues, staying true to the essence of Kate Spade. From head-to-toe purple ensembles to silky two-tone dresses and whimsical blue pinafores, each look exuded chic charm. However, it was the handbags that truly stole the spotlight, featuring a dazzling array of styles in classic tones, leopard prints, snake skins, and even denim accents.
Glass’s talent for infusing quirky details into impeccably structured silhouettes was evident throughout the collection, elevating Kate Spade to new heights. While she is still in the process of making her mark and imprinting her unique style on the brand, Tapestry Inc. CEO Victor Luis remains optimistic about the future of Kate Spade under her creative direction. The initial success of Glass’s collections indicates a promising future ahead for the brand.
As Tapestry shifts its focus towards reinvigorating Kate Spade’s presence in regions like Asia Pacific, where they have recently completed buybacks and are implementing successful strategies akin to those at Coach, Glass’s innovative perspective is already generating positive outcomes. The evolution of Glass as a designer and her shaping of the Kate Spade brand will undoubtedly be fascinating to watch, as she maintains momentum and propels Kate Spade towards continued success in the fashion world.
