Fashion career profile
Jennifer Lyu
Jennifer Lyu is Senior Vice President and Head of Design for Accessories at Kate Spade New York. She leads handbags, small leather goods and tech categories and works with Tom Mora to connect accessories with the wider ready-to-wear and lifestyle offer. Before joining Kate Spade New York, Lyu led handbag and small-leather-goods design at Tory Burch. Her earlier design leadership includes work across women’s and men’s accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear at 3.1 Phillip Lim, as well as senior roles at Emilio Pucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada. The directory treats her job as a defined category design mandate in Kate Spade’s collaborative model. It is neither collapsed into the CEO role nor inflated into a single, unsupported creative-director title for every product category.
