Kate Spade in action Pre-Fall 2013

Kate Spade creative director Deborah Lloyd has been California dreaming, specifically about Hollywood and Palm Springs. Those locales, along with the seductive Chinese film "In the Mood for Love" inspired the collection. It translated into vintage-style brocades, jacquards and shiny chiffon fabrics whipped into signature Spade staples like poof skirts, tunic tops and a flirty dress in a colorful abstract flower print.
