Kate Spade remembered 7 years after her death
Seven years ago this week, the fashion world was stunned by the death of designer Kate Spade. Spade died by suicide on June 5, 2018, in her apartment in New York City. The fashion designer, best known for her eponymous line of colorful handbags and whimsical clothing and accessories, was 55 years old at the time of her death and the mother of a teenage daughter she shared with her husband and business partner Andy Spade. In an interview with The New York Times following Kate Spade's death, Andy Spade said that perhaps no one was more shocked by the death of his wife, from whom he was unofficially separated at the time, than those who knew her best. "We were in touch with her the night before and she sounded happy. There was no indication and no warning that she would do this," he told the newspaper. "It was a complete shock. And it clearly wasn't her. There were personal demons she was battling." Andy Spade also said at the time that although his partner of 35 years suffered from depression and anxiety, she'd been seeing a doctor regularly and was taking medication to combat the conditions. Contrary to reports, he added, there were no substance abuse issues, nor were there any business problems. Kate Spade started the Kate Spade New York line with her husband in 1993, and she eventually sold all her shares in the company in 2006. She launched a new line in 2016 called Frances Valentine. Her partner in both business ventures was also her best friend, Elyce Arons, whom she met as a freshman at the University of Kansas in 1981. Arons shares new memories of Kate Spade in her upcoming memoir, "We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship with Kate Spade," to be released June 17. In an excerpt from the memoir shared with People earlier this week, Arons recalls how Kate Spade was hesitant to have her name on the Kate Spade New York fashion line. Kate Spade's idea for a handbag line, according to Arons, came from not being able to find the right handbag for a fashion shoot while working at the publication Mademoiselle in the mid-1980s. "It was time to name the baby. Andy's idea was to combine Katy's first name with his last name -- Katy became 'Kate' because Andy liked the rhythm of two one-syllable words together," Arons writes in her book. "Katy liked it a lot, too, but her shyness made her cautious. 'Don't expect me to be Kate Spade!' she said when we first agreed on the name, and many times after that." The handbag line became a huge success and later grew to include clothing, accessories and fragrance. When Kate Spade New York was sold in 2006, Arons said its founders celebrated with a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where she said she and her best friend talked about the future. "On our last night in Cabo, Katy and I stole away for a sunset cocktail by the beach. We both ordered margaritas," Arons writes in her memoir. "'So what's next?' I asked. Katy replied, 'Whatever it is, we'll do it together.'" Later in the book, Arons writes what it has been like to live with the grief of losing her friend to suicide. "All of us who loved her have had to find a way to make peace with her incomprehensible choice. It's not been easy. I've learned to never take the people whom I care about for granted," she writes. "As I tell my closest friends: Go to your sister or your best girlfriend who's just like a sister to you. Go to her today and hug her so hard that it's like you won't ever let her go."

You will reach a trained crisis counselor for free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also go to or dial the current toll free number 800-273-8255 [TALK].

Kate Spade died 7 years ago: What to know about the iconic fashion designer
Kate Spade died 7 years ago: What to know about the iconic fashion designer Show Caption Hide Caption Kate Spade's legacy Learn more on the death of handbag designer Kate Spade. CBC - Business Kate Spade, the designer who helped characterize 1990s fashion with her iconic handbags, died by suicide seven years ago this week. Spade's death on June 5, 2018, stunned the fashion world, highlighting the silent struggles behind one of the industry's biggest names and, along with the death of Anthony Bourdain three days later, sparked a broader conversation about mental health amidst fame and success. A two-time Council of Fashion Designers of America award winner, Spade left behind a brand that captivated young women in the '90s and early aughts that endures today. Who was Kate Spade? Born Katherine Brosnahan in Kansas City, she co-founded her eponymous designer brand in 1993 with her future husband and business partner Andy Spade, the brother of comedian David Spade, in their New York City apartment. Started with hand-taped prototypes, Kate Spade became a rapid success, expanding to shoes, luggage and other accessories. Spade relinquished any ownership of her brand in the mid-2000s, which would change hands a few times before landing at Tapestry, Inc., formerly Coach, Inc., after a $2.4 billion purchase in 2017. How did Kate Spade die? Spade was found dead in her Upper East Side apartment in New York City. She was 55. Her cause of death was ruled suicide by hanging. In a statement reported by media at the time, Andy Spade said his late wife had "suffered from depression and anxiety for many years" but "was actively seeking help and working closely with her doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives." Her death was followed by Anthony Bourdain's suicide three days later. "There was no indication and no warning that she would do this. It was a complete shock," Andy Spade continued. "There were personal demons she was battling." Kate Spade's best friend Elyce Arons, who is writing a memoir titled "We Might Just Make It After All" about their friendship, said the couple "were trying to work things out," she told People in an interview published June 3. The book is set for release on June 17 through Simon & Schuster. Kate Spade's daughter Frances was namesake of her new brand Spade's daughter Frances Beatrice Valentine Spade was 13 at the time of her death. Police reported at the time that she left Frances, now 20, a note. In 2016, Kate Spade turned to a new brand based around her daughter, the luxury footwear and handbag company Frances Valentine, with which she remained active until her death. If you or someone you know may be struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can call 988 any time day or night, or chat online.
