Seven years after the tragic suicide of designer Kate Spade, her best friend and business partner, Elyce Arons, is providing insight into the duo's 37-year-long friendship. A beloved industry icon, Kate's suicide rocked not only the fashion community but also pop culture as a whole. Testimony from her loved ones illustrates a charismatic, creative professional who carried pain and stigma in addition to the unexpected weight of fame. In her upcoming memoir, We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship With Kate Spade, Elyce takes us back to her college years, where she met Kate upon arriving at university. Through cheeky, at times emotionally-charged memories, she reflects on Kate's life, legacy, and Elyce's own regrets.
