Last night we were hit with the shocking news of ace accessory designer, Kate Spade‘s death. A report according to People states that
Police say she was found hanging from a red scarf Tuesday morning in her bedroom at her Park Avenue home in Manhattan. The scarf had reportedly been tied to her door. A housekeeper discovered her, according to a police source, and she apparently left a suicide note, though its contents are not known at this time.
Wikipedia defines Kate Spade as, “An American fashion designer and businesswoman. The namesake and former co-owner of the designer brand Kate Spade New York” But we know her as the designer who brought the funk into fashion. Her bags, accessories, and clothes have been making a statement ever since the brand’s inception in 1993. No matter the design, the brand always encapsulated a vibe that was like no other. From the brand’s cutesy Pineapple bags to her collaboration with Keds to create a line of comfy kicks for brides—You can safely say that there was no one like her!
The official Instagram page of Kate Spade NY posted this after this heartbreaking news
Kate Spade, your designs will forever be etched in our memory as ones that were unique, fun and eccentric. There never has been and will truly never be anyone like you.
RIP.
