Fashion Doyenne: Deborah Lloyd

Picture 1
Kate Spade's New York Creative Director Deborah Lloyd learned how to sew on her grandmother's Singer. By the time she was in grammar school, she was tailoring her own uniforms (skirts shorter than most) and sketching designs in her school notebooks.

It's no surprise that she has fantastic taste. Here are a few of the people and things that inspire her:

I'm glad to see you love Behind the Curtain too! I have a minor obsession with it---the creative team at Kate Spade is so clever and everything they do has such charm. Bravo for sharing!

She has wonderful taste, but I would hope she would in order to represent the brand properly!

Deborah Loyd is fabulous. She once said that what she wears as everyday outfits people would usually wear to weddings! I must say I am guilty of that too :)
