Kate Spade has always been a staple when it comes to accessories and handbags. Expanding that universe to incorporate clothing can be a bit tricky, but Nicola Glass does it with an air of ease. For the Resort collection, Kate Spade's primary aesthetics is firmly rooted in soft colors and equally delicate floral prints. From the reintroduction of archival aesthetics through Kate Spade handbags to flowy tonlality of the dresses this collection veers into the territory of universalism as opposed to appealing to a niche’ sets of consumers. It is inevitably one of the most complete collection Kate Spade has produced in the last few cycles. This in itself suggests a strong evolution that is in tune with KS’s history within the accessories market while keeping pace with the rest of the big houses in fashion.
