Kate Spade made her mark in Hollywood — and not just as the name tag on countless red carpet looks.
The fashion designer played herself on a 2002 episode of brother-in-law David Spade’s sitcom “Just Shoot Me!” and was also a guest judge on a 2006 “Project Runway,” back when the reality show was on Bravo.
Readers can watch Kate Spade (well, both Spades, really) on the NBC comedy here. Check out her full “Project Runway” episode via the video above.
Spade was found dead in her Park Avenue Manhattan apartment on Tuesday morning after an apparent suicide, according to law enforcement officials who spoke with the Associated Press. Spade’s husband was at the scene.
Officials told the AP she left a note at the scene, but said they were not authorized to share its details.
Last year, the designer’s name brand fashion empire Kate Spade & Co. sold to Coach Inc., now named Tapestry.
