Kate Spade's first clothing collection

Strutting down the runway

Last month, I received an invitation to view the first clothing collection by Kate Spade New York. I had been a long time fan of their bag and especially shoe collection, the 3 inch heels were actually comfortable to walk in.

The fashion show was held at the Four Season's hotel. I called to RSVP and the lady told me to bring a friend along for the fun. We arrived on the dot and registered at the entrance of the ballroom. When we walked in, we were speechless. Rows and rows of teas were arranged along the catwalk.

We were led to our seats and a waiter appeared to ask us if we wanted tea or coffee. What we wanted was to click away with the camera and record this moment. It just felt so surreal, so SATC. We took turns taking pictures and after making a nuisance obstructing the waiters serving other ladies, we sat down.

We started to devour the 3 tier tea set. It was the usual fare, with finger sandwiches and savories, scones and cakes, but somehow they tasted extra special. I think it had to do with the atmosphere and the excitement.

Finally, the fashion show began and the first model was my all time favorite, Amanda Strang. She just looked so pretty and sweet and so Kate Spade. Polka dots were everywhere, which was just right with the caption,"Be chic, be pretty and have fun!!". The show lasted for about 15 minutes. I clapped so hard when all the models paraded down for the finale. It was just so pretty and so fun!!

I had my last sip of coffee and thought to myself what a wonderful day it was. I felt so happy. Afterwards, we went to the Kate Spade shop to look at the clothing. Well, there weren't many on display and we felt that we had an insider look and we both had a secret smile walking out of the store.
