Kate Spade taps Ice Spice and Charli D'Amelio for spring 2025 campaign
Dubbed 'To The Ones Who Carry Us,' the campaign spotlights the universal roles friends play in a girl's life. At the center of the campaign is the Deco Chain Shoulder Bag, available in new seasonal colorways including Blue Multi Denim, Jungle Vine, Pistachio, Sweet Cream and Apricot Cream.
This campaign is a vibrant love letter to the friends who shape a girl's life,' said Eva Erdmann, CEO and brand president of Kate Spade New York.
'Since joining the brand, we've been exploring new meaningful ways to connect with a younger audience. In a world where digital interactions often overshadow genuine connections, the profound bond of friendship becomes, more than ever, an indispensable anchor. Kate Spade New York's latest campaign celebrates fierce friends: the ones who show up, have your back, and brighten the everyday. As Kate Spade herself once said, 'A good friend is like the perfect handbag – always by your side, effortlessly lifting your spirit, and making every adventure a little more fabulous.''
Aimed at connecting with a younger audience, the campaign introduces a fresh visual aesthetic and emotional storytelling that reflect the fast-moving, interconnected lives of Gen Z. Set against the backdrop of a bold urban cityscape, it highlights creative scenes that bring modern, relatable energy to the brand.
'Growing up in New York, I've always been a fan of Kate Spade and their iconic designs. This campaign was exciting to me because it's all about celebrating friendships,' said Ice Spice. 'My friends mean everything to me—they keep me grounded, especially my sister and cousins. They're the ones I call when I'm homesick, when I'm hyped, or when I just need to be reminded of who I am and where I came from.'
'I'm so excited to partner with Kate Spade New York,' added Charli D'Amelio. 'I've loved the brand for years, especially how its modern designs allow me to express my own personal style. I think it's really cool to see how this campaign celebrates the power of friendship and the joy it brings. It makes me think of the lifelong friendships I have that started as a child, growing up, going to school together, being in the same dance company, or new friends I've met through work or moving to new cities – I am so grateful to have had the amazing opportunity of forming friendships with new people along the way.'

American Eagle 'jeans' campaign that stars Sydney Sweeney under fire
Some social media users are outraged, saying the wordplay of the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans," coupled with the actor's blue eyes and blonde hair, has racial undertones. Others are praising the campaign as lacking "woke" politics. "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My genes are blue," Sweeney, wearing denim on denim, says in one video. People across social media have leveled criticism spanning the gamut, with some saying the campaign promotes "white supremacy" and "eugenics" while others have called it "sterile," a sign of "regression" or simply "rage bait." But many others have applauded the campaign, posting comments like "woke is broke!" and "culture shift!" Conservative Republican senator Ted Cruz of Texas posted a photo of Sweeney on X and wrote, "Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women. I'm sure that will poll well." Neither American Eagle nor the Emmy-nominated Sweeney, the 27-year-old actor best known for roles in the series "The White Lotus" and "Euphoria," have publicly responded to the backlash. "Sweeney's girl next door charm and main character energy -- paired with her ability to not take herself too seriously -- is the hallmark of this bold, playful campaign," AE said in a statement last week when the advertisements launched. 'Values of another time' The company said its collaboration with Sweeney was meant to "further elevate its position as the #1 jeans brand for Gen Z." As part of the campaign, AE had also said it was launching a limited-run "Sydney Jean" that retails for $79.95 and features a butterfly motif on the back pocket, which the brand said is meant to represent domestic violence awareness. Proceeds from the jeans will go to Crisis Text Line, a nonprofit offering mental health support, AE, a company started in 1977, said. In the wake of the chatter triggered by the campaign, Washington Post fashion critic Rachel Tashjian wrote that whether or not the ad had racial undertones or anything intentional to say beyond selling jeans, it "is part of a wave of imagery of influencers, pop stars and musicians that feels tethered to the values of another time." "For the past five or six years, it seemed like fashion and pop culture were very interested in -- even dedicated to -- body positivity. Now we're being fed a lot of images of thinness, whiteness and unapologetic wealth porn," Tashjian said.
