As she unveils her Fall 2020 collection for Kate Spade New York, take a peek inside Nicola Glass's workspace.

Then, this [credenza, behind the desk] was something that I had in my home. I bought it on a whim at the flea market in Paris about four years ago. It didn't quite fit with for a new apartment, but I could bring it to the office. It's this beautiful kind of art-deco piece, which I do think subconsciously inspired some of the hardware [in my collections]. Some of the pieces I started doing were enamel and a bit a like the handles on this.
I approached the collection in different ways. It's a very organic process. I usually start with one little thought — this season, it was this idea of an enchanted forest and a journey through it. You'll see how that really wove its way through the whole collection in a subtle way, whether it's that you need to come up close to discover some of the novelty or it's these mushroom rings or little branch earrings or it's this beautiful almost psychedelic floral [print].
I always start with an idea rather than a season. For spring, I'd been thinking of an urban safari and how you can find the green spaces within the city, and it just really evolves from that. Then, I start thinking: What's the color palette? What are some of these fun details that our customers [will love], like the fun mushroom rings or this belt?
You're wearing a full look from the Fall 2020 collection. Is that something you normally do, ahead of its debut? Truthfully, our biggest product category is handbags, but we have 30 product categories so I have to kick off the process quite far in advance. Literally for spring — what we would show in September — we kicked it off two weeks ago [in January]. The reason is, with certain products, like swimwear and home and bedding, there's a longer lead time. To make sure it all feels very cohesive, I need to get the color palette and print direction rolling first.
