Submissions must include lifestyle garments and at least one bag, with the option to combine the Kate Spade-inspired look with other items. The challenge offers $5,500 in cash prizes: $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for second, $1,000 for third and $500 for fourth.

Kate Spade bags are also offered to the top three winners, alongside features on CLO channels. Entries opened September 21, close November 23 and winners are scheduled to be announced December 14.

Why brands are inviting consumers into the design layer The partnership gives Kate Spade a way to place its holiday product language inside a creator workflow rather than limiting the campaign to finished imagery.
