Debasement accelerated in hyper-fashion until a halt was called after the subsidiary coins became practically worthless, and children played with them in the street, much as recounted in Leo Tolstoy’s short story, Ivan the Fool. – Charles P.

You could rip it up, and six months later, it was back, healthier than ever. Mint smelled better, though, and you could make juleps out of it. I don’t know what I could make out of HAPA. Compost, maybe. – Kim Harrison • He held the book up to his nose. It smelled like Old Spice talcum powder. Books that smelled that way were usually fun to read. He threw the book onto his bed and went to his suitcase. After rummaging about for awhile, he came up with a long, narrow box of chocolate-covered mints. He loved to eat candy while he read, and lots of his favorite books at home had brown smudges on the corners of the pages. – John Bellairs • He tastes like mint and need, as he overpowers me with his tongue. – Jessica Sorensen • Here’s flowers for you; Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram; The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun And with him rises weeping: these are flowers Of middle summer, and I think they are given To men of middle age. – William Shakespeare • Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram; The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun, and with him rise weeping. – William Shakespeare • How awful that the artist has become nothing but the after-dinner mint of society. – Samuel Barber • How shall we account for our pursuits, if they are original?

Honeysuckle can work through cracks in your walls and strangle you while you sleep. Kudzu can completely shroud a house and a car parked in the yard in one growing season. Wisteria can lift a building off its foundation, and certain terrifying mints spread so rapidly that just the thought of them on a summer night can make your hair stand on end. – Bailey White • I eat anything, especially sweets. Chocolate, cookies, and I love mint-chip ice cream. – Mary McCormack • I get up at 5.30am, sluice myself and have two Weetabix and some mint tea, before starting to write by 6am. – Andrew Motion • I have a friend who actually told me that she’d rather be dead than be fat. This is a woman who, if I order a sandwich at lunch, she’ll order a salad. If I order a salad, she’ll order half a cantaloupe. If I order half a cantaloupe, she’ll order a cup of coffee. This bizarre contest continues until she’s down to sucking on a mint-flavored toothpick. At this rate, her preference for dying over being fat could be a reality sooner than she thinks. – Joy Behar • I have never been much of a groomer. I take baths a lot, but I don’t wear deodorant. I don’t have to. I have a miraculous body scent. I’ve had women smell me and say that should be bottled. I would advise guys to lay off the Drakkar, because the cavemen weren’t wearing it. They might have been putting mint leaves on their balls, but your scent is grown naturally. I have really good dating advice. – Zach Galifianakis • I loved Morocco. It’s very exotic and different from anywhere I’ve ever been. I had an amazing day there in the high Atlas Mountains near Mount Tamadot, when I rode by donkey into a Berber village and drank some mint tea with a Berber family. It was exceptional. – Isla Fisher • I made a decision to live outside the city in northern California. My agent said to me, ‘Kid, you’re going to make a mint in television movies.’ He positioned me, and we picked really good projects, and I cornered that market. They were 20-day projects. – Mare Winningham • I took a fresh pack of Luckies, a mint called Sen-Sen, my old man’s Trojans. – Billy Joel • I want you to take a sleeve of Thin Mints and line them up on the edge of the kitchen counter and when I’m hungry I can just bend over and sweep a cookie into my mouth like I’m scoring a goal in hockey.- Jack Gantos • I wouldn’t treat a romantic scene any differently than any other scene. I would really say the biggest preparation was chewing gum and breath mints! For a kissing scene, it’s all about the breath mints! – Alice Englert • If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, ‘I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself.’ – Aiden Wilson Tozer • If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. • If you’d asked me at 30 where I’d be during the Masters when I was 46, I’d have pictured myself on a boat fishing, smoking a cigar, drinking a mint julep and watching it on television. – Jack Nicklaus • I’m from South Jersey: The idea of eating a roll with olive oil and anchovies or some kind of sardine and drinking mint tea definitely comes from reading Paul Bowles.- Patti Smith • In fact we put so many things in our mouths we constantly have to be reminded what not to eat. Look at that little package of silicon gel that’s inside your sneakers. It says DO NOT EAT for a reason. Somewhere sometime some genius bought a pair of sneakers and said Ooooh look. They give you free mints with the shoes – Morgan Spurlock • In some circles, the Mint 400 is a far, far better thing than the Superbowl, the Kentucky Derby, and the lower Oakland roller derby finals all rolled into one. This race attracts a very special breed. – Hunter S. Thompson • It is the destiny of mint to be crushed. – Waverley Root • It took me a sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mints and forty minutes to get over that boy. – John Green • It was mint and memories and the past and the future and she felt as if she’d done this before and already she longed to do it again. – Maggie Stiefvater • It’s clear, it’s fresh, like a mint candy. – Margaret Atwood • Ive never drunk coffee.

I have either mint, green or black tea. – Saffron Aldridge • Juno MacGuff: You can never have too many of your favorite one calorie breath mints. – Diablo Cody • Lately I’d begun carrying pain amulets in my bag, like some people have breath mints. – Kim Harrison • Life is legal tender, and individual character stamps its value. We are from a thousand mints, and all genuine. Despite our infinitely diverse appraisements, we make change for one another. So many ideals planted are worth the great gold of Socrates; so many impious laws broken are worth John Brown. – Louise Imogen Guiney • Luxury lives in the finer details. It’s a cloth napkin at a dinner table. It’s a mint on your pillow before bed. – Iggy Azalea • Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long, ‘Tis not with me exactly so; But ’tis so in the song. My wants are many, and, if told, Would muster many a score; And were each wish a mint of gold, I still should long for more. – John Quincy Adams • My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass. – Serena Williams • My head is pounding.

P. Kinsella • My wife is one of the best wimin on this Continent, altho’ she isn’t always gentle as a lamb with mint sauce. – Charles Farrar Browne • Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising. – Thomas B. Macaulay • Now if I cry on screen I think it’s mint. Because I think that’s how that person would feel at that time. And if it doesn’t, then it just doesn’t happen. – Michael B.

Is there a greater waste?) – Ally Carter • Perhaps the most vivid recollection of my youth is that of the local wheelmen, led by my father, stopping at our home to eat pone, sip mint juleps, and flog the field hands. This more than anything cultivated my life-long aversion to bicycles. – Tennessee Williams • Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. ‘Kiss me,’ he said. She leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. Her hair fell over Peter’s shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. She smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. He felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body. Josie’s lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. ‘I’m glad I wasn’t stuck in here alone,’ she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath. – Jodi Picoult • Rogerson,” I asked him sweetly as we sat watching a video in the pool house, “where would I find the pelagic zone?” “In the open sea,” he said. “Now shut up and eat your Junior Mints. – Sarah Dessen • Sandwich outdoors isn’t a sandwich anymore.

Does wonders for the appetite. – Ray Bradbury • Scoops of mint ice cream with chips of chocolate cows. – Jim Bishop • She wanted to hold foreign syllables like mints on her tongue until they dissolved into fluency. – Anthony Marra • Take from my palms, to soothe your heart, a little honey, a little sun, in obedience to Persephone’s bees. You can’t untie a boat that was never moored, nor hear a shadow in its furs, nor move through thick life without fear. For us, all that’s left is kisses tattered as the little bees that die when they leave the hive. Deep in the transparent night they’re still humming, at home in the dark wood on the mountain, in the mint and lungwort and the past. But lay to your heart my rough gift, this unlovely dry necklace of dead bees that once made a sun out of honey. – Osip Mandelstam • That the mounds of ices, and the bowls of mint-julep and sherry cobbler they make in these latitudes, are refreshments never to be thought of afterwards, in summer, by those who would preserve contented minds. – Charles Dickens • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after. It’s a collector’s item and came with a case and a stand and everything. – Josh Turner • The creativity and pathology of the human mind are, after all, two sides of the same medal coined in the evolutionary mint. The first is responsible for the splendour of our cathedrals, the second for the gargoyles that decorate them to remind us that the world is full of monsters, devils, and succubi. – Arthur Koestler • The greatest possible mint of style is to make the words absolutely disappear into the thought. – Nathaniel Hawthorne • The holy grail is right here in this gem of a book. Tosha Silver’s wisdom goes down as easy as a mint milkshake and leaves you feeling so free you’ll want to do cartwheels on the beach. But don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this message. Look no further for an easeful path to enlightenment infused with rapture and hope, which comes as much needed medicine for the soul. – Lissa Rankin • The irony is that Iraq actually has one of the richest and most sophisticated cuisines in the world.

The oldest written recipes in the world are from Iraq! – Annia Ciezadlo • The mint makes it first, it is up to you to make it last. – Evan Esar • The music community in Minneapolis is really incestuous so I’ve gotten the chance to work with a gang of people who have worked with Prince, Mint Condition, got to spend some time with Mujah Messiah, Atmosphere, P.O.S., Rhymesayers, a lot of poets around there. – Nikki Jean • The NRA made an ad saying that Obama is elitist because his kids have armed guards. Yeah, that crazy Obama thinking his kids need special protection. I love the NRA accusing anyone of being paranoid. It’s like a septic tank saying, ‘You need a mint.’ – Bill Maher • The only thing better than a superb collection of spinechilling stories, is a superb collection of spinechilling stories accompanied by equally unsettling illustrations, and in that regard, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better example than IN MINT CONDITION: 2013. In reading it, I have discovered writers and artists previously unknown to me who are now very high on my radar, and they should be just as high on yours. – Kealan Patrick Burke • The other big factor in building trust quickly is site design quality. Mint.com has one of the best graphic designers ever (Jason Putorti) – he cares about every pixel, all the fonts, all the transparencies and effects. And that shows instantly. People do make judgments of trust on appearance – in the real world and online. – Aaron Patzer • The past has been a mint Of blood and sorrow. That must not be True of tomorrow. – Langston Hughes • The reason I wanted to become an organ player was because I heard Ray Charles play on Quincy Jones’ arrangement of “One Mint Julep.” I heard that sound, and it just struck me. I thought that’s what I want to do with my life. That’s the sound I want to try to make. – Booker T. Jones • The savor of the water mint rejoiceth the heart of men. – John Gerard • The world is like a little marsh filled with mint and white hawthorn. – Mary MacLane • The world is not so much in need of new thoughts as that when thought grows old and worn with usage it should, like current coin, be called in, and, from the mint of genius, reissued fresh and new. – Alexander Smith • The yard was full of tomato plants about to ripen, and mint, mint, everything smelling of mint, and one fine old tree that I loved to sit under on those cool perfect starry California October nights unmatched anywhere in the world. – Jack Kerouac • Then from the Mint walks forth the man of rhyme, Happy to catch me, just at dinner-time. – Alexander Pope • They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored. But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for me. I want to do things– I want to walk the rain-soaked streets of London, and drink mint tea in Casablanca. I want to wander the wastelands of the Gobi desert and see a yak. I think my life’s ambition is to see a yak. I want to bargain for trinkets in an Arab market in some distant, dusty land. There’s so much. But, most of all, I want to do things that will mean something. – Lisa Ann Sandell • Tic Tacs are the maracas of breath mints. – Demetri Martin • Use Starbucks mints for every occasion—they’re the strongest – Natalie Portman • Use your head, Sep. Loads of wolverines. Hanging around waiting for super. Gtting excited. eating mint blasts. so what do you think they do?’ it must be here. they can’t have eaten that… i dunno, Nik, what do they do?’ POO. – Angie Sage • What did I do? I walked into a drugstore to look for some mints, and then I walked out. What was wrong with that? I didn’t kill Mr. Nesbitt. – Walter Dean Myers • When all is complete deep in the teapot, when tea, mint, and sugar have completely diffused throughout the water, coloring and saturating it…then a glass will be filled and poured back into the mixture, blending it further. The comes waiting. Motionless waiting. Finally, from high up, like some green cataract whose sight and sound mesmerize, the tea will once again cascade into a glass. Now it can be drunk, dreamily, forehead bowed, fingers held wide away from the scalding glass. – Simonne Jacquemard • When Hale’s hand disappeared inside his tuxedo jacket, Macey wasn’t exactly sure what he’d find inside the pocket. It could have been another phone or a breath mint. Really, nothing would have surprised her. Well nothing except… “Is that an earbud?” she whispered. He smiled. “Are you on comms?” “Shhh,” he told her softly. – Ally Carter • Whether the darken’d room to muse invite, Or whiten’d wall provoke the skew’r to write; In durance, exile, Bedlam, or the Mint, Like Lee or Budgel I will rhyme and print. – Alexander Pope • Which meant his only assets were one whiny imprisoned goddess, one sort-of-girlfriend with a dagger, and Leo, who apparently thought he could defeat the armies of darkness with breath mints. – Rick Riordan • Why love the woman who is your wife? Her nose breathes in the air of a world that I know; therefore I love that nose. Her ears hear music I might sing half the night through; therefore I love her ears. Her eyes delight in seasons of the land; and so I love those eyes. Her tongue knows quince, peach, chokeberry, mint and lime; I love to hear it speaking. Because her flesh knows heat, cold, affliction, I know fire, snow, and pain. Shared and once again shared experience. – Ray Bradbury • Yet simple souls, their faith it knows no stint: Things least to be believed are most preferred.

A Peek into Kate Spade’s Personal World

Since its launch in 1977, FASHION magazine has been giving Canadian readers in-depth reports on the industry’s most influential figures and expert takes on the worlds of fashion, beauty and style. In this series, we explore the depths of our archive to bring you some of the best fashion features we’ve ever published. This story, originally titled “Kate Spade” by Jennifer Laing, was initially published in FASHION’s May 2002 issue.

There is a space off the main hallway of Kate Spade’s showroom that has been converted temporarily into a loose replica of the designer’s South Hampton beach house bedroom. The installation, built for the press preview of Kate Spade Beauty, is a peek into Spade’s personal world: The walls are stencilled with yellow cabbage roses – a convincing copy of the real antique wallpaper that lines her actual bedroom. A striped raincoat is thrown casually over a chair. The focal point, though, is a Louis XVI-style writing desk that is used as a vanity. It’s strewn with a comb and brush set, a vase of flowers, a few photos of Spade and husband Andy and most important, several bottles of Spade’s new perfume – which is the reason for my visit.

The rest of the showroom (one of four floors the company inhabits in a prewar building just north of Chelsea in New York City) is a collection of tidy but homey rooms each displaying a separate Spade collection: spring and fall handbags, stationary, shoes and small goods (wallets, cosmetics cases, eyewear). Glass vases filled with tulips and an assortment of early edition books (Silent Studio by David Douglas Duncan, Form by Horst, Lolita by Nabokov) are mixed in with the merchandise. Peggy Lee’s All-Time Greatest Hits wafts through the showroom (and your telephone receiver if you happen to be on hold).

As for Spade, she’s wearing her brown bob in one of her signature hairstyles: front pieces pulled back, ends flipped out. (“I have two hairstyles. It’s either like this or done all the way up,” she says.) Her cheeks and lips are rosy pink. Her nails are red. She’s sporting a black knit top, a black-and-white floral-print Barbara Tfank skirt, black heels (her own) and several vintage bracelets on each wrist. She’s a modern-day version of a 1950s-era hostess, all manners, poise and attention to detail, but sweet and down-to-earth at the same time. Somehow, it all works.

She’s a modern-day version of a 1950s-era hostess, all manners, poise and attention to detail, but sweet and down-to-earth at the same time.

In fashion circles, the Kate story is practically lore. In 1993, Spade (then Katherine Noel Brosnahan), a former accessories editor at Mademoiselle, was searching for the quintessential handbag. Unable to find what she was looking for, she and soon-to-be husband Andy, an advertising exec, decided to create their own. The six simple handbags combined classic style, colour, utility and a palatable price point to boot. They were an instant hit.

In a time when fashion in general, and accessories in particular, are so season-specific (that fringed bag is so last year, those bowling shoes so 2000) the fact that the original handbag styles are still the mainstays of the collection (and the horizontal shopper is still the best-seller) is particularly significant. This is one girl who understands the difference between fleeting trend and enduring classic. “It’s basically how I shop for myself,” she says. “You know there are things that I bought when I first got to New York that I still wear today.” In fact, Spade’s whole design philosophy is built on simple shapes and lasting styles, which explains why season after season her designs achieve a certain instant-classic status with consumers. Her accessories are never really out. To wit, a grey flannel messenger bag I bought seven years ago still looks right today because, despite a certain amount of wear and tear, it doesn’t scream any specific date in time. The Kate Spade consumer appreciates the timelessness and consistency of her designs. “She likes fashion but she doesn’t take it so seriously that she won’t wear the same thing next season,” says Spade.

Since the handbag launch, Spade has expanded into stationary, shoes and eyeglasses. She maintains the consistency of the style by personally overseeing every design no matter what the category. The company’s latest incarnation, Kate Spade Beauty, is a joint effort with Estée Lauder. The line, which debuts this month, is being billed as “a collection of Kate’s favourite things” and includes a range of bath and body products as well as a signature fragrance. The very fact that it’s a whole collection and not just a solo scent (which is how most fashion designers usually break into the beauty market) is typical Spade. After all, this is a woman who followed her successful handbags with unexpected paper and envelopes. “Everyone was like, what? You spent all this time doing another category and it’s not shoes or belts?” she says. “It’s just the same with beauty. I would never have done just a fragrance without the rest. This is how I really live. This is my daily ritual.”

Spade’s whole design philosophy is built on simple shapes and lasting styles, which explains why season after season her designs achieve a certain instant-classic status with consumers.

As it turns out, Spade’s daily ritual includes a lot of time in the bathroom soaking, soaping, polishing, powdering and moisturizing. “Andy can watch two TV shows in the time I spend taking a bath,” she says. “And then, after all that, he tells me I don’t look any different. But it’s not about that. It’s about feeling great and relaxed.”

The pair spent two and a half years developing the line. They worked especially hard on the fragrance, which infuses every item from body wash and bath oil to moisturizer and dusting powder. The scent revolves around honeysuckle (“When Andy and I first smelled honeysuckle we just looked at each other and knew this was it.”), a flower that reminds Spade of summers growing up in Kansas City, Missouri. They added gardenia, jasmine, tuberose, french muguet and sandalwood to create a soft floral fragrance that’s both feminine and elegant.

Besides the fragrance, Spade’s legions of fans will no doubt be charmed by a slew of deliberate little touches: three similar but slightly different-shaped perfume bottles (“It’s a collection, so I wanted to do a collection of bottles as well.”), the terry mitt and headband which come with the body wash and bath oil, respectively, and of course, the boxes that serve as the outer packaging. Each is lined in that same cabbage rose print and all are characterized by a signature witty phrase (a carton of body polish reads: “she has natural polish and a quick sense of humor,” and a box of body moisturizer reads: “her skin is soft, her wit is keen”). “Though the box is secondary to what’s inside, I don’t think you need to ignore it,” says Spade. “Giving it a little bit of uniqueness makes it so much more distinctive.” She would know. It is after all, what makes Kate Spade so, well, Kate Spade.
