On November 4th, Kate Spade New York and NYLON hosted "Holiday Duo-ets" at the Chateau Marmont Penthouse, transforming the iconic Hollywood venue into a festive winter wonderland. The event was an evening of music, fashion, and friends, celebrating the joy of togetherness and the spirit of gifting this holiday season.
The party featured festive cocktails, piano sing-alongs, and a holiday setting complete with a snow sculpture of Kate Spade New York's signature Duo bag. Leading the celebration were Kate Spade New York brand ambassadors: Four-time Grammy-nominated rapper Ice Spice and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Laufey who were joined by model Reign Judge and NYLON Members with their Kate Spade New York Duo bags and besties.
Inspired by Kate Spade New York's "Spark Something Beautiful" holiday campaign, the experiential evening brought the theme of "Holiday Duo-ets" to life. Featuring Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Laufey and model Reign Judge, the holiday campaign imagery and film showcase the brand's fresh aesthetic—celebrating the magic that happens when we are together with friends.
The holiday campaign further cements Kate Spade New York as the premier destination for holiday gifting. The brand's newly launched Holiday Gift Guide, available now at katespade.com, brings to life the joy of giving and the beauty of connection through a curated assortment that inspires everyone to spark something beautiful this season.
