Does anyone know of a source for the information on Bradley Carvette? --Neyoung (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I am curious because in my research I have been unable to find any information on Bradley Carvette or anything linking him to Kate Spade. The only sentence I find is below, the exact same sentence that appears in the Wikipedia entry. While at Mademoiselle she met Bradley Carvette who worked in the art department and would become a longtime boyfriend. Together, they were featured in the magazine as part of a photo story on couples and love. If this statement has no reference or validity, I think it should be removed.--Neyoung (talk) 21:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone think that the ANDY SPADE stuff should be moved to his own page?

Yes, I think that Andy Spade page should be created as he is one of the leading marketing/sales advertising executives in the nation right now. - Steel87

[edit] Cleanup

I added a cleanup tag to this article. The article is poorly constructed--it begins saying she was born in KC, then moves on to ASU, then she moves on to New York. However, then the article moves back to talking about ASU, then back to NY, and then says that she grew up in Scottsdale before once again retuning to New York. I don't know Kate Spade's chronology, but the article should be cleaned up a bit to make it more coherent. -Nick^talk 01:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] past tense

someone should change all the tenses to reflect the news: http://www.wwd.com/notavailable/dotcom?target=/issue/article/117616&articleId=117616&articleType=A&industryKw=issue&industryKw2=issuearticle

Spades Stepping Aside

Thursday, July 26, 2007

By Whitney Beckett Husband-and-wife team Kate and Andy Spade are saying goodbye to the company they founded.

As their service agreement with Liz Claiborne Inc. expires after the $4.99 billion vendor acquired the accessories brand in November, Kate and Andy Spade are stepping down from their respective roles as designer and chief executive officer at the end of next week at the close of spring market.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Katespade.jpg

Image:Katespade.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
