Kate Spade dies: Iconic fashion designer was sister-in-law to David Spade and aunt to Rachel Brosnahan
-
The pioneering fashion designer, who was found dead this morning in an apparent suicide, created a handbag empire with her husband Andy Spade, David Spade's brother. The couple founded Kate Spade New York in 1993. Kate Spade was born Kate Brosnahan, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan is her niece. "People around me have said that I’ve inherited little pieces of Katie’s style,” Rachel Brosnahan said in an interview with Women's Wear Daily last fall. “For example, I love a good shoe and a good bag, and I know that she was largely influenced by my grandmother, her mother, June. Who actually, fun fact, Midge is slightly inspired by.”
