Deborah Lloyd Deborah Lloyd design overseer. president and cco. solver.

As President and Chief Creative Officer for Kate Spade New York, Deborah Lloyd oversees all creative aspects of the Kate and Jack Spade brands, from design to public relations. [www.katespade.com]

Good design is important and makes a real difference in our lives. It makes our lives so much easier, whether in the design of an everyday object, a piece of clothing, a hotel, or a system. Form and function and beauty can work together. Your handbag needs to work. Your wallet needs to work.

When you put something on that makes you feel good, the expression on your face, the way you go out into the world and confront life, is very different from when you put something on that makes you feel not good about yourself. There’s nothing attractive about scuffling along looking like your shoes are killing you. When your head is up and you feel confident, your whole day is different.

I’m past the age now where I’ll suffer to dress beautifully. What I wear also has to also comfortable. When you’re wearing something comfortable it becomes a part of you, it helps you be more carefree.

I’m very driven. The more people put me in a box, the more ways I find to get out of it. I’d love to have had meaningful conversations with some of the female fashion designers early on who made changes in the industry, like Coco Chanel. She was a revolutionary with such a strong character. I’d want to ask her about how she rebelled. She threw away the corsets and constraints and designed pieces that were both functional and comfortable. I really admire her and what she did.

A lot of my life is spent in problem-solving, finding interesting solutions for everyday life. Great design is like solving a puzzle – not by sacrificing one thing for another, but by finding interesting solutions so all of it can be included.

Great design is not just about the product. I feel it in the office, too, as a sensibility that spreads throughout the company. The people I work with have true pride in what they’re designing – they enjoy bringing designs to life. There’s an atmosphere of joyousness and loving life.

I find in my life that I’m buying a lot less, so what I buy needs to really mean something. Even if it’s an everyday item, it needs to have longevity and even be something I can pass on, something that lasts, like an heirloom.

– Deborah Lloyd
