But for shoppers, the big news was that ANN is adding a third label to its roster. kate spade factory outlet Lou & Grey, a loungewear line that came to life within LOFT shop-in-shops, will open four standalone stores this year.

I think about my kate spade usa clients and the looks I'm going to be choosing for them as I prepare for awards season. It's also a time for inspiration. Even beyond the actual attending of a show, looking at the people around you. And of course networking. You have kate spade outlet the celebrities in town, you have the editors in town, you have the designers in town, you have hair and makeup in town, you have DJs in town, you have set designers and creative directors in town. The question is whether or not you have time for everything because it never stops. I attend shows with my clients, I attend shows without my clients.
