Ice Spice, Laufey & a Magical Winter Wonderland at Chateau Marmont
Listen… when Kate Spade New York decides to kick off the holiday season, they don’t just “throw an event.” They create a whole moment. And baby, the moment this year was pure sparkle, pure sisterhood, pure holiday magic — wrapped in the chicest bow you’ve ever seen.
On November 4th, Kate Spade New York and NYLON Members rolled up to the iconic Chateau Marmont Penthouse and transformed it into a glittering winter fantasy. Think snowy trees, twinkling lights, festive cocktails, sing-alongs, and yes — even a snow sculpture of the brand’s now-famous Duo bag. Honey, they said holiday glamour and delivered it with intention.
And who hosted this star-studded soirée? None other than the dynamic duo making waves in music and style: Ice Spice — four-time Grammy-nominated rap phenom — and Laufey, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter whose entire aura is a soft, dreamy holiday soundtrack. Together, they turned the night into a celebration of connection, creativity, and the joy of gifting.
Holiday Duo-ets: Where Fashion, Friendship & Festive Vibes Collide
The vibe was simple: come with your bestie, your bag, and your sparkle. The theme, “Holiday Duo-ets,” mirrored Kate Spade New York’s new campaign “Spark Something Beautiful,” and honey, that’s exactly what they did.
The penthouse was filled with Kate Spade New York brand ambassadors, NYLON members, models (Reign Judge giving effortless chic), creators, and friends — all rocking their own colorways of the coveted Duo bag, recently named a Top Trending Product on the Google Holiday 100 List. When Google says you’re that girl? It’s official.
Fun fact: searches for “crescent bags” are exploding, and Kate Spade’s Duo is front and center as the go-to holiday gift of 2025. A bag you can wear four ways? Shoulder, crossbody, clutch, belt bag — listen, versatility is the real luxury in 2025.
