Our heroes: Work with Sabatino.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Setting up his own office space to find Katya. Sam: Has brokers looking at the boat – one offer and it’s sold. Kensi: Giving a deposition. Deeks: Overwhelmed by the social worker’s demands for becoming a foster parent. Fatima: Taking down the club king bad-guy. Rountree: Tacking the club king bad-guy’s buyer. Kilbride: Put country and career over his family and his son paid the price.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Still in detention Sam: Returning a banker’s box full of stuff Callen left on Sam’s boat. Kensi: Absent. Deeks: Has a new, mind-blowing burrito place. Fatima: Happy to have Shyla in Ops. Rountree: Can’t believe people watch 24-hour video cameras. Kilbride: A fool who works on his days off.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? No mentions.

Who's down with OTP: Kensi’s in court. Sam is still mourning Michelle.

Who's down with BrOTP: It was interesting to see Sam with Sabatino who knew Michelle as a colleague and a friend.

Fashion review: Callen wears a medium blue button down shirt. A long dark blue tee-shirt for Sam. At home, Deeks is working in a dark pink tee-shirt before wearing a blue long-sleeve sweater in the office. Fatima is wearing a light grey sweater over a black turtle neck. Rountree is wearing a black tee under a denim unbuttoned button down shirt. The Admiral has on a really dark grey/possibly black suit (I don’t think it is black), pale blue dress shirt and red and white pattern tie.

Music: “Do You Get the Motion” by Goldberg plays in the teaser through the Deeks home rehab scene.

Any notable cut scene: Driving to the boat shed before interviewing Hudson, Fatima and Rountree discuss Lee’s daughter growing up with a father who can’t stay out of jail. Fatima tells him Lee’s mother has been given temporary custody but Rountree says it is not the same. Rountree and Jordyn were bounced around from relative to relative while his mother was trying to get herself together. The family did their best but things never felt like home. A child needs to know there is someplace and something that belongs to them.

Deeks shows up at the office – it is his day off. He’s there to help out. Shyla says it is very Kilbride of him. Deeks explains he was sitting at home alone with a lot to do but nothing he could do alone so he decided to come in. “Does that make sense?” Shyla says “sure” if you are Kilbride. Deeks reminds Shyla of a young Kilbride. As she goes up stairs, the Admiral arrives saying Deeks is nuts for coming in on his day off but since he’s here, make yourself useful.

Quote: Kilbride: “I have dedicated my life to the Navy, and I am proud of the career I've had, but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the other side of that coin. My wife wanted a husband, my son wanted a father, and I was neither. At least my wife knew what she was getting into. My son didn't have a choice. And there is not a day goes by that I don't question whether it was all worth it.” Deeks: “Hmm.” Kilbride: “If only the process for biological parents were half as stringent as what you and Agent Blye are going through, then perhaps my son could have enjoyed his teenage years instead of spending them in rehab.” Deeks: “I'm sorry. Is he okay?” Kilbride: “ I wouldn't know. It's been ten years since we spoke.” Deeks: “Well, it's not too late to fix it.” Kilbride: “No, no. Afraid that ship has sailed.” Deeks: “I guarantee he doesn't hate you half as much as I hated my father. I mean, I shot the guy. In all fairness, he was pointing a gun at my mother and I, and I was years old, but I still shot him. And then I stopped talking to him. And now he's dead. What's crazy about that is that, despite all that, if he would have asked for a second chance, I would have given it to him in a heartbeat. You know, just to see... as hopeless as it may have been... just to see if there was any way to salvage that relationship. My point is, I think you should call him. Like it or not, you're still his father.”

Anything else: On the beach, a homeless man named Angus is asked to move along by a LA County Sheriff’s officer. She tells him of some housing available in Redondo. Angus is on the list for housing there but he doesn’t want to lose his beach view. Grabbing a slice of pizza from a box discarded in a trash can, Angus sits under the pier and tries to eat. Seeing some seaweed, he notices someone under it. Seeing it was a woman, Angus rolls her over. She’s dead.

Walking into his house, Deeks is carrying some long two-by-fours. Music is blasting. Walking upstairs, he sees the hard work of surfing buddy Max. Deeks can’t believe how much Max has gotten done but she reminds Deeks she is a contractor. For her hard work, she’d like some burritos. Deeks has burritos coming from his new favorite place – 12-minutes out according to Postmates.

Kensi calls – she’s giving a deposition. Max and Kensi share telephone hellos. The reason Kensi is calling is that Ms. Janice King left her sweater and is picking it up sometime that day. Deeks isn’t sure where the sweater is but he’ll find it, he’s sure. King is just coming by, picking up the sweater and leaving. It isn’t another 1,000 point inspection of the house. Deeks wants to help Max when the doorbell rings. Going to the door thinking it is Postmates arriving early, it is King instead. She apologizes for leaving her sweater behind.

As Deeks looks for the sweater – it wasn’t where he thought it would be – King notices the house hasn’t changed much, notwithstanding the constant hammering. While Deeks looks for the sweater, King wants to take a few more measurements – “dotting I’s, crossing t’s.” Deeks says sure but isn’t pleased.

As Sam takes a really big gun out of one of the armory closets, Callen walks in with a banker’s box asking “what is all that stuff.” It is all the stuff Callen left on Sam’s boat. Callen pulls out a neon green Yeti-style tumbler, saying he’d never buy that. Sam tells him where and why – a late night stakeout last year because Callen wanted to see the tumbler. A mug Callen gave Sam that reads “Who’s Your Daddy?” is returned because it isn’t something Sam would ever use. Callen thinks that’s why it is a great gift. Callen asks why the purge? Brokers are coming to the boat, Sam is selling it – first offer and it’s sold.

When Sam’s phone buzzes with news of a new case, Callen reminds Sam he’s in “detention”. From Ops, Shyla pops up on the big screen. Callen notes the Admiral is doing all he can to keep her in LA. In Ops, an arriving Fatima says Shyla can stay as long as she wants. Rountree is just behind Fatima. The case is the woman Angus found on the beach – Nikki Lee is US Navy Junior Intelligence Specialist stationed at Seal Beach. No security but cameras caught what happened to Lee. Long Beach PD are interviewing people in the area.

Looking at her photos from the beach, Rountree notices that her jewelry all seems to be in place. Early word from the Medical Examiner is that Lee was strangled around 12M last night. Sam thinks the body could have been dumped in the water and washed up on shore – someone should check with the harbormaster. Callen asks about Lee’s work assignments. She specializes in ballistic missiles systems, according to Shyla. Lee and her team are working with DARPA on the next generation missile defense system. Callen suggests talking to Seal Beach’s NCIS office to see if there were any security breaches.

Lee had a daughter and an ongoing custody issue with the child’s father. Sam is worried – custody battle are brutal. They are going to talk to Lee’s ex. Fatima and Rountree are off to speak to Lee’s boss at Seal Beach in the boatshed. Her teammates may know why she was in Long Beach. The Admiral pops on the Armory Plasma – he needs to see Callen and Sam now.

Chuckling as they walk into the Admiral’s office – an office with all the blinds down and mostly closed – Callen and Sam see Sabatino. Sam suggests that the CIA kicked Sabatino out. “Not exactly” is Sabatino’s reply. The Admiral introduces US Marshal Sabatino. Sabatino “can tell you are excited.” Sabatino is part of a task force looking into Libya trying to procure stolen Navy missile technology. With Libya under an arms embargo, this could be a way to replenish their miliary forces. Lee’s murder is too much of a coincidence. Assigning Sam to work with Sabatino – who is excited to have a partner, the Admiral wants to speak to Callen alone.

In the hallway outside of Kilbride’s office, Shyla has news of Martin Thomas, the father of Lee’s daughter. Thomas has four arrests, three that have to do with drunken misbehavior. The last charge though was for domestic violence. Lee was the victim and she was pregnant at the time. Thomas just moved from Orange County to Carson, just a few miles from Long Beach. Sam wonders if the domestic violence escalated this time.

Going to the Hellcat, Sam is livid. Lee isn’t much older than Kam. If a partner ever put their hands on Kam, Sam would make him wish he never had hands. Knowing Kam, Sabatino is pretty sure she’d take care of the partner herself. Saying that he went to real trouble to get a “sick ride” from the Marshal’s motor pool. Sam says no. Sabatino keeps pushing. Sam says no. Callen arrives. Sam asks if he’s been cleared to return to the field. Now it is Callen’s turn to say no. Sabatino asks what Callen did to get into such trouble. Callen and Sam answer in stereo – “none of your business.” Kilbride is giving Callen a few days off. With Alex and Jake going to the mountains, he may tag along. Or he could spend a few days on the boat. Sam has a showing. Sabatino is surprised Sam is selling the Michelle. Sabatino may know a guy interested.

While Deeks and Max are working in the bedroom, King walks in with bad news. The stairs in the backyard have to be replaced before next week’s inspection. King also asks Max if she has a permit for the work they’re doing. As King leaves, Deeks tells Max he has no idea how to fix stairs. Max has no plans for the weekend but Deeks can’t impose. He’s not imposing, she’s offering. But only if they get Burrito Hut for lunch.

In the boat shed, Lee’s commanding officer, Lt. Commander Gary Hudson, is shaken by her death. The whole team is. Lee was so well-respected. “Kind, generous, hardworking.” She was a key part of the new missile defense system. She won’t get to see the fruits of her labor. Fatima asks the status of the missile defense system and is told testing starts next week. It is the most advance anti-missile system in the world. Security is tight, there have been threats, but they are keeping on top of things. Rountree asks what would happen if it falls into enemy hands? Instead of the enemy’s missiles being shot down, the US’s missiles would be.

Checking with his friends and family, Sabatino doesn’t know someone looking to buy a boat – everyone bought pandemic boats and now they want to sell them. Just as he starts his motorcycle, Sam and Sabatino walk to up talk to Martin Thomas. Thomas starts talking about paying his child support and wants Sam and Sabatino to move since they’re blocking him. Sam tells Thomas that Lee was killed the prior night. Lee is genuinely stunned. He hasn’t see her in two-months. Realizing he’s a suspect, Thomas says he never hurt Lee. Sabatino says the domestic battery charge says otherwise. Thomas denies touching Lee.

After they broke up, Thomas went to Lee’s place to talk about the breakup. There was another man there. The two of them got into a beef. Lee tried to break it up. When the police arrived, Lee and the new boyfriend blamed him. Thomas explains he and Lee were good until she got pregnant. “I mean, I can’t even take care of myself. How am I going to take care of a kid?” Lee took full custody, which he was fine with until she wanted child support. If he didn’t have the kid, why should he pay? “Because that’s the law,” is Sam’s wonderful answer. Thomas knows that because Lee’s “fancy lawyer” was successful. Sabatino asks Thomas where he was when Lee was killed. He volunteers at a rehab center as part of his community service. His parole officer volunteers with him.

Reviewing office records, Lee logged out of the office in the late afternoon but returned around 8:30PM. Fatima asks if Hudson was aware returned to the office. He wasn’t but it didn’t surprise him. Lee worked late because she had to make up the hours she lost with childcare issues. With the team facing deadlines, Hudson had to tell Lee if she didn’t find a solution to the issue, she would be reassigned. A few days ago, she had a solution. Hudson didn’t asks what the solution was and he regrets that now.

Thomas’s alibi holds up. Sabatino is sure it is the Libyans. NCIS doesn’t know if the Libyans are involved, they don’t know if Lee was killed due to her work. Thomas’s line about an expensive lawyer caught Sam’s ear. Sabatino doesn’t follow. A fancy lawyer cost money – money Lee didn’t have on her Navy salary. Sabatino wonders if the lawyer worked pro-bono. Sam thinks there may be other ways Lee found to raise the money. Shyla is still working on Lee’s financials but the schematics for the missile system were downloaded from Lee’s computer last night. Sabatino thinks the Libyans would “pay a pretty penny” for the tech.

Walking into Ops, the Admiral tells Shyla that NCIS CYBER confirmed that the only breach into the new missile defense system was the download from her computer the prior night. Shyla found Lee’s car in a parking lot in Hermosa Beach, 17-miles from where her body was found. If Lee stole the technology, she’d want to sell it right away. Getting into Lee’s phone, Shyla learns Lee was a gig worker, which made her a security breach waiting to happen. NCIS needs to talk to everyone she was in contact with in these jobs – a time consuming process that they do not have the time for. If money was an issue, the Admiral thinks whatever Lee spent money on must have been important. He wants Shyla to check Lee’s expenses.

Checking out Lee’s car, there was a parking lot stub and that’s it. There are some bars and inexpensive eateries around the parking lot but not much else. Fatima sees woman living in an RV just off the parking lot. They are going to question her.

Driving, Sam and Sabatino hear from Shyla. Lee was working at the SkyWest Beach Club – a private club owned by Wesley Roberts – Big Wes. He’s a scam promoter who separates rich people from their money.

The RV lady tells Fatima and Rountree about her social media accounts – she’s Roving Rosie. Fatima and Rountree would like to download footage from her cameras. Rosie is live 24/7 – she never goes down. But she may have a solution to Fatima and Rountree’s problems.

In the boat shed’s main room, Sam shows Lee photo to Roberts. He doesn’t recognize her but also really doesn’t look all that hard. Since Lee was in his private club hours before she was murdered, Sam asks if Roberts saw Lee. Since he was really busy making the magic happen, Roberts said he didn’t see Lee. But he feels badly, especially since Lee was military – “my people.” Sabatino asks if Roberts served. He didn’t but he respects the military. Sam asks if Roberts owns a boat. He doesn’t – sold it during the pandemic. Sam asks for the prior night’s guest list and security camera video. Roberts is a hard no – needs to protect his club members. Leaving, Roberts offers to take care of Sam and Sabatino. His private club is having a Japanese whiskey tasting event tomorrow – free drinks all night and Sam and Sabatino are invited. Castor takes Roberts back to his club with a warning from Sam to stay in town. Sabatino is sure Roberts had something to do with Lee’s murder. Sam agrees and wants Shyla to keep tabs on him.

Outside of Rosie’s RV on a nice table and chairs set-up, Fatima and Rountree are watching Rosie’s feed on a laptop. Rountree can’t believe anyone would watch Rosie’s feed. They see Lee and a group of men lead by a fellow in a cowboy hat. A fight ensues, she goes down. There is a van that took her away.

In the boat shed, Sam updates Sabatino about Fatima and Rountree’s find. NCIS Is trying to get a warrant to take Roberts’s club security video but Roberts has beaten a number of federal charges including fraud and RICO. They have to be careful. Sabatino notes that Roberts had three boats and sold them all. Sam asks why Sabatino is pushing the boat stuff. Sabatino believes Sam doesn’t want to sell the boat. Sam asks if he knows how expensive it is to buy a house in LA. Sabatino thinks Sam needs better taste in music and a shirt that fits properly. He doesn’t need the money for a house – he’s known Sam for a long time. Sam is a saver who invest. He doesn’t have to sell the boat.

Asking if he tells Sabatino, will he drop it? Sabatino agrees. When Michelle died, Sam needed some time and to figure out some things. The boat gave him that, gave him some peace. With his father’s declining health, and the boat is not a safe place for his father, Sam is going to look out for his father “the way he always did for me.” Sabatino thinks they’re becoming friends. Maybe they should go to the Japanese promo events. It dawns on Sam that if there was a promo event at the club the night before, there would be photos.

Pulling into a parking lot Fatima and Rountree find the van that was used to take Lee away. Inside the van is nothing but the smell of bleach. “No blood, no prints, no way to find out where they went.” Fatima has an idea to find out where they’ve been.

With Deeks reviewing party photos in Ops, Shyla arrives with news that they have all the photos – the tequila company that threw the party confirmed it. Deeks has had enough of “this is amazing” photos. He thinks he’s looking at people who live to YOLO. “I mean don’t these people have jobs?” Putting a photo of two drunken young women on the screen, Deeks asks Shyla what she sees. She sees two people who woke up with hangovers and regrets. Behind the young women, Deeks sees Lt. Commander Hudson in a cowboy hat. “What is happening here?” Lee saw Hudson and Hudson saw him. He didn’t that to Fatima and Rountree.

Downloading the van’s GPS, Fatima is drowning in data. The van has been everywhere. She doesn’t know where to begin.

As Hudson leaves his home, Sam and Sabatino confront him. He tries to run and gets clotheslined by Sam instead.

In interrogation, Hudson said he didn’t know why he didn’t tell Fatima and Rountree about seeing Lee. He’s under a lot of pressure, he needs to let off some steam and does it at clubs. Looking at his credit card statements – “great marketing for AA” - Hudson spent a lot of money in Roberts’s club. Hudson denies having anything to do with Lee’s murder. With all the money he owes, Hudson could work overtime for decades or download the anti-missile tech from Lee’s computer and pay it all off. A crying Hudson confirms he downloaded missile technology from Lee’s computer and gave it to Roberts. “I just thought he was a guy who loved the military.” Roberts kept inviting Hudson to his clubs, plying him with alcohol, women and drugs. When the debt is called in, Roberts offered to clear the debt for the technology.

Hudson thinks Lee figured out that he downloaded the tech from her computer and followed him to the club. When she confronted him, he didn’t know what to say. Then Roberts and his men took over. Sam is disgusted. A Navy Lt. Commander had his subordinate murdered. “You said nothing, you did nothing. Like a coward.” Sabatino asks who is the buyer. Still disgusted, Sam mocks Hudson for being scared. The real person who is scared is Lee’s little girl. Hudson took her mother away. Hudson doesn’t know the names of the buyers but whoever they are, they are dangerous. Roberts is afraid of them.

Shyla has bad news – she was tracking Roberts all afternoon but he turned off his cellphone 20-minutes ago. He was heading north just before the trace was lost. Sabatino thinks the sale will happen in one of Roberts clubs but Sam disagrees – law enforcement would look for Roberts at his clubs. “He knows that.” This has to be safe.

Deeks returns to Ops – Roberts sold all his non-club real estate holdings last year. Sam suggests Roberts’s lawyers. One of Roberts’s lawyers owns an LLC with properties all over LA. Most were in area where the Roberts was driving before taking his cellphone offline. Deeks starts listing the properties and one warehouse is where the van made several trips. Sam, Fatima, Rountree and Sabatino are going in.

With Shyla and Deeks guiding them, Sam and Sabatino, Fatima and Rountree enter the warehouse. Fatima and Rountree take on a number of gunmen. Sam and Sabatino get into the office area of the warehouse where they see the tech leaving the building. And get shot at. There is a lot of shooting. Sam shoots a fire extinguisher that takes out all the bad guys in the office.

Outside, Fatima stops Roberts, Rountree tackles the man with the tech.

With her laptop, Fatima confirms the entire missile defense system is back in the Navy’s hands. Rountree is shocked Hudson would try to frame Lee for the crime. He would have gotten away with it, according to Sam, if Lee didn’t follow up. She’s the hero of the story. To Sabatino’s great disappointment, the buyer wasn’t Libyan. It was Hassan Barakat – who works for the Libyans. Sam found working with Sabatino interesting.

As Sam leaves, Sabatino tells him Michelle was one of his closest friends. Michelle wouldn’t be happy if he sold the boat. He didn’t think Sam’s father would be either.

As the Admiral is leaving the office, Deeks is cranky packing up his things. Returning to the bullpen, the Admiral notes that there are few things that Deeks enjoys more than working and talking “incessantly.” Since only a fool like the Admiral comes in on his day off, and Deeks isn’t a fool, why was he there? Deeks talks about the hard work they are putting into becoming a foster parents. Just when he thought they did everything right, a social worker took a wrecking ball to what they’ve done. Approaching Deeks, the Admiral talks about spending his life and making a great career in the Navy. “My wife wanted a husband, my son wanted a father and I was neither.” Mrs. Kilbride knew what she was getting into – his son did not. The Admiral questions every day if it was worth it.

With real sadness in his voice, the Admiral wishes the process to becoming a biological parent was half as tough as what Kensi and Deeks are going through, maybe his son wouldn’t have spent his teenage years in rehab. Deeks is sorry. He asks about the Admiral’s son. The Admiral doesn’t know – they haven’t spoken in ten-years. Deeks thinks they could talk now but the Admiral says “that ship has sailed.”

Deeks talks about his father – how the Admiral’s son doesn’t hate him half as much as Deeks hated his father. “I mean, I shot the guy.” Deeks tells the Admiral about what happened. “And now he’s dead.” Deeks says despite everything that happened, if his father asked for a second chance, he would have tried to see if there was a way to salvage the relationship. Deeks wants the Admiral to call his son. “Like it or not, you’re still his father.”

In a dingy office building, Callen is talking to Sam saying he’s spending his time hiking with Alex and Jake. Set up in his own office space, Callen is working with someone to find Katya. Katya had some serious plastic surgery. He hangs up a new photo of Katya on the wall.

What head canon can be formed from here: Found the Sam-Sabatino conversations about Michelle interesting. Sabatino knew Michelle in a different way than Callen knew Michelle. They were interesting conversations.

Speaking of interesting conversations, the one with Deeks and Kilbride at the end was a home run for both actors. Mentioned Justified in the episode 17 write up and will mention it again. There was a character in that program who shot and killed her abusive husband. Explaining him to her then boyfriend in season one, she said the dead husband didn’t beat her all the time and when he was being a good husband, he was someone she really cared about. Deeks was in a different place as a kid but wonders how the adult Deeks would interact with a man who couldn’t beat him or his mother anymore.

Laura Song spoke about the Admiral being an easy target because he had something at home they could exploit. Could Laura Song be the dutiful fill-in daughter to a man dealing with a struggling son.

The cut scene with Rountree better be recycled. That was too good to waste.

Episode number: 298 – we’re on the way to 300. It was episode 18 of season 13.

How Kate Spade built her billion-dollar empire — and left it

Handbag designer Kate Spade at her New York showroom in 2000. (Photo: Thomas Iannaccone/Penske Media/Rex/Shutterstock)

The fashion industry is mourning the loss of Kate Spade, one of America’s most beloved designers. On Tuesday morning, the Associated Press reported that Spade was found hanged, an apparent suicide, in her New York City apartment.

Spade was born Katherine Brosnahan in Kansas City, Mo., in 1962. She created her eponymous label in 1993 with her then-boyfriend — who later became her husband — Andy Spade (the brand is a combination of the founders’ names). The two met while at Arizona State University and neither studied fashion.

After graduation, the couple moved to New York City, where Kate started her career as an accessories editor at Condé Nast’s Mademoiselle magazine. Although Spade had an eye for fashion, she did not have a design background. Nevertheless, with a little push from Andy over dinner at a Mexican restaurant, she sought to make her handbag line a success — but it didn’t happen overnight.

“At the time, things were very — bags were too complicated. And I really loved very simple kinds of architectural shapes. And I would wear these very simple shapes, none of which were famous designers. I mean, there were no names. If someone were to say, whose is that? I’d say, I don’t know; I bought it at a vintage store, or it’s a straw bag I got in Mexico,” Spade told Guy Raz in the NPR podcast How I Built This.

Kate’s first handbag mockup was famously made of burlap. She took her first few prototypes to a trade show at the Javits Center in New York in 1993 and sold units to Fred Segal in Los Angeles and Barneys New York, arguably two of the most renowned fashion retailers in the nation. But the profits barely covered the costs for the booth. And two years of hustling later, the company still wasn’t turning a profit.

However, things took a dramatic turn in 1996 after Kate Spade won the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America Perry Ellis award that brought international acclaim to the brand. More department stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, started ordering in bulk, which helped the brand out of the red. At the CFDA awards, “there were reporters from around the country, not just New York, at the show. They were saying, you know, oh, my — who is this?” Spade said to Raz in the NPR podcast. “And so that really, really helped us a great deal, I have to say.”

Soon after Kate’s CFDA win, her most iconic item, the Sam bag, known for its boxy shape and nylon material, became the “it” accessory of the ’90s. Spade’s decision to sew the inside logo on the exterior of the bag was a move the New York Times said helped create “a brand identity and her empire.”

“The purses became something of a handshake,” said Wall Street Journal fashion reporter Christina Binkley to Racked. “When two women met and saw they were both holding Kate Spade bags, they’d nod at each other and understand they were on the same page. It was very chic.”

In part, its success can be attributed to Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, who featured Spade’s bag in the magazine alongside European labels like Gucci. Celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, and Monica Lewinsky became Kate Spade fans.

“Kate Spade had an enviable gift for understanding exactly what women the world over wanted to carry. She launched her label at a time when everyone thought that the definition of a handbag was strictly European, all decades-old serious status and wealth. Then along came this thoroughly American young woman who changed everything,” said Vogue editor in chief and Condé Nast artistic director Anna Wintour in a statement on Vogue.com.

To capitalize on the the company’s popularity, the Kate Spade brand started to grow, and in 1996 the label opened its first store on Thompson Street in Manhattan’s hip SoHo neighborhood. New York was equally important to the brand’s DNA as it was to Spade’s story. The city is where the brand was born, the company bares its name (the full name being Kate Spade New York), and it is where many of Spade’s first and most loyal customers lived.

Fans range widely in age, but to this day, scoring a Kate Spade as a teenager or young adult has largely been considered a rite of passage. “It seems like just yesterday I was running my fingers over the shelves where it was my job to rearrange the iconic nylon box bags,” wrote Stella Bugbee for the Cut. “The simple rectangular totes were a status symbol for chic downtown women at the time, and I sold so many of them, I lost track.”

Kate Spade bags were modestly priced between $150 and $450, making them not only aspirational but attainable. They hung in a sweet spot compared with the brand’s European counterparts. “The name held prestige, but it wasn’t off-putting,” as Robin Givhan told the Washington Post.

It was also Spade’s personal quirky sense of style, 1950s-style bouffant hair, and cheerful smile that added a lot of joy to the label. This infectious energy resonated with consumers, with many connecting with her Midwestern roots. Spade brought a vivid color palette, a playful charm, and feminine poise to her designs, making them highly covetable.

In 1999, Kate and Andy Spade sold 56 percent of their company’s shares to the Neiman Marcus Group for $34 million. In 2006, Neiman Marcus bought out the rest of the couple’s shares to sell the company to Liz Claiborne (owner of Juicy Couture & Lucky Brand Jeans), which would later change its name to Kate Spade & Co.

In 2007, Kate and Andy Spade would officially leave the multimillion-dollar brand they helped create, devoting more time to family and raising their daughter, Frances Beatrix Spade. But Kate’s vision and spirit would continue to drive the brand’s ethos long after her departure. Young, fresh-faced celebrities like Taylor Swift and Millie Bobby Brown carried on the funky aesthetic into the next generation, wearing it on the red carpet and being snapped by paparazzi wearing the brand’s designs.

In 2016, nearly 10 years later, the duo would return to fashion, launching a brand-new shoe and handbag label called Frances Valentine.

“Frances is a longtime family name on my dad’s side,” Spade told WWD in 2015. “My grandfather, father, brother, and my daughter’s name is Frances. And then Valentine was my mom’s dad’s middle name because he was born on Valentine’s Day.”

Kate too would come to love the name Valentine so much that she changed her surname to Valentine. She explained the name choice to the Business of Fashion in 2016: “It kind of makes [me] sound kind of cool, like a rap star or something,” she joked. “But we’re not trying to be cheeky or coy. It really was to distinguish the name and separate the two worlds. Obviously we’re super proud of Kate Spade, and we want to be respectful of both.”

In 2017, Kate Spade & Co. sold to Tapestry, Inc. (parent company to Coach and Stuart Weitzman) for an astounding $2.4 billion.

Among other things, Kate Spade will be remembered as one of the first major female American designers, one who helped pave the way for other industry successes like Jenna Lyons (formerly of J.Crew), Tory Burch, and Cynthia Rowley.

Information about the HAM4HAM Lottery

Yes: it’s every bit as good as you’ve heard.

There are many reasons why Hamilton has exceeded the ticket sales, awards, and critical acclaim of every previous Broadway show. It is unlike any musical that preceded it, combining a glorious mixture of music styles (hip hop, blues, soul, pop, jazz, and traditional show tunes). This narrative of the original immigrants to the U.S., our founding fathers and mothers, is played by a very contemporary American cast that is a glorious mixture of ethnicities, mostly non-white. Lin-Manuel Miranda has created a brilliantly sly commentary on today’s politics and racism by retelling America’s political history, the history of immigrants and outsiders.

The music is nonstop. There may be one or two spoken lines. The show is ruthlessly dynamic, moving through the story ever more quickly and thoroughly on designer David Korins’s grand, cavernous set with a revolving stage, within Howell Binkley’s dazzling light design. Andy Blankenbuehler’s choreography is as inventive and acrobatic as it is graceful, executed remarkably by the huge (and hugely talented) cast. Paul Tazewell’s costumes, authentically Colonial with an occasional soupcon of the surreal, are outstanding.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Visually and audibly electrifying as it is, I was caught unaware by Hamilton’s emotional impact. Alexander Hamilton (Edred Utomi), Eliza Hamilton (Hannah Cruz), Aaron Burr (Josh Tower), George Washington (Paul Oakley Stovall), Thomas Jefferson (Bryson Bruce, who also plays the Marquis de Lafayette), and King George (Peter Matthew Smith), among so many others, are fully realized characters, and while Hamilton is often hilarious, it is just as often heartwrenching. While engaging us fully in the triumphs and tragedies in individual lives, Miranda manages to simultaneously make us think about what or who, exactly, shapes national history. “Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?”

I was a bit disappointed in the acoustics: the orchestra at times seemed too loud, making it difficult to hear some lyrics. I’m not technically savvy enough to understand exactly why this happened, although I have experienced this problem before with musicals at Proctors. Perhaps some of the instrumentals are recorded rather than live, challenging the relationship between singer and orchestra. More’s the pity, because in my opinion, as remarkably good as the music is, Miranda’s way with words is phenomenal.

If it were possible, I’d seize the opportunity to see Hamilton again to try and catch the lyrics I missed, because yes, it’s every bit as good as you’ve heard.

Hamilton, book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow), directed by Thomas Kail, runs August 13-25, 2019 at Proctors Theatre, 432 State Street, Schenectady, NY. Choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, music Supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe.
