Is it just me, or do others find the black knicker flash by the girl in the green dress distracting? I'm just so surprised they left it in!

Thanks for mentioning it, Shandy57.
Now I’ll have to try and see it. I’m in desperate need of some distraction today.???

There you are Mollygo ?

Can’t see a problem, the dancing is great, we often see a flash of knickers when dancers dance. I hadn’t noticed so wasn’t distracted by it.
Not sure why they shouldn’t leave it in. Now if she had been going commando that would have been a different story and I would have expected it to be edited.

I thought Kate Spade had died several years ago so find it strange that the brand is still going.

Christian Dior as a fashion house along with Chanel etc etc are still going and the “names” have been dead for yonks!

Actually, what a lovely happy ad- great music to jog around the kitchen to, colourful clothes and bags to lust after. ??
As for the occasional flash of black knicker - did you not wear navy gym knickers under your hockey skirt or white under your tennis dress?

It didn't bother me, normal for dancers.

Not sure why, but them all wearing masks felt a bit strange though. I know that is life at the moment, but seeing it on a fun, light hearted dance advert seemed wrong somehow.

When I was at school we had to do PE in those same navy knickers with a white gym top, just took the tunic of!!
One of my treasured possessions is a Kate Spade handbag, quite small and neat which I use when I go out in the evening , so... it doesn’t get much use.
I will post a photo shortly.

Here it is, as new.

Yes. She died by suicide. Poor woman sad
I couldn't bring myself to buy anything with her name on it.
I do like some of 'her' accessories.

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Jun-21 11:27:40

Sorry Ann , your bag is lovely.
I wish I hadn't posted my post now.
I'm so sorry thanks

annsixty Fri 25-Jun-21 11:27:54

Oh dear!!!

annsixty Fri 25-Jun-21 11:28:30

No worries Fanny x

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Jun-21 11:33:45

Thank you Ann x
What a blabbermouth I am!

MayBee70 and FannyCornforth - you are both right, sadly Kate Spade is dead. Many years before my DD did some PR work for her when she was in London - still waiting to get paid!

MayBee70 Fri 25-Jun-21 12:53:01

A nice handbag is a thing of beauty. I don’t understand the obsession with rather vulgar expensive bags but yours is lovely Ann. It’s just that I was surprised to see one of her shops in London several years ago.

Mollygo Fri 25-Jun-21 14:05:56

Thanks Jaxjacky.
Not sure if I’d have noticed the first glimpse of black if I’d not known what to look for. Loved the advert anyway.
I had a lovely Kate Spade iPhone case from TK MAXX once, but I sold it with the phone.

BlueBelle Fri 25-Jun-21 15:11:33

Never seen that advert, but blimey blink and you’d miss the knickers what on earth are you complaining about shandy
Nothing out of the way there, very covered most dancers are I. tiny leotards
Don’t like the masks and they must be a bugger to dance with them on

I ve never heard of Kate Spade presumable she was a real person who headed a fashion brand that I d also never heard of and haven’t see the advert so I m full of ignorance

Shandy57 Fri 25-Jun-21 17:10:18

ha ha Bluebell it seems to hit me right in the eye!

More important things to think about now - little blackbird fledgling in my garden has now been sitting without any parent al contact for about five hours sad Will be keeping my cat in.

Blossoming Fri 25-Jun-21 17:25:17

They look like modesty shorts to me. I love the dress.

It was hardly Basic Instinct, was it ?
