Kate Spade’s husband pays tribute to the late fashion designer. Kate Spade’s husband, Andy Spade, took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late wife who died of suicide on June 5^th 2018.

Sharing a picture of a Christmas tree, Andy told the story of how he and 13-year-old daughter Bea chose to honour the fashion icon.

He wrote, “She was born Christmas Eve, 1962. She loved the Midwest, the desert, and the city. I was lucky enough to have dear friends let my daughter…stay at their home through a difficult time. This tree was standing alone beside the house so we ordered those multicolored, old fashioned lights from Amazon or Target and another dear personal friend gave me a really long extension cord and Bea and I cut a star out of the cardboard box the lights came on and wrapped it in Reynolds wrap (TM) like we do every Christmas.”

At the time of Kate’s passing, Andy released a statement saying that “”Kate was the most beautiful woman in the world,” and that she had “suffered from anxiety and depression for many years”.

“She was the kindest person I’ve ever known and my best friend for 35 years. My daughter and I are devastated by her loss, and can’t even begin to fathom life without her. We are deeply heartbroken and miss her already.”
