Writers who cover fashion and culture were delighted in 2016, when — just 10 years after selling her namesake brand to Liz Claiborne Inc. in 2006, and then leaving the industry — the designer Kate Spade popped back onto the fashion scene with Frances Valentine, a new accessories line with a slightly more sophisticated veneer. We had missed her.

In an interview for an article at the time, I asked her how tough it might be, after designing for one brand for so long — a brand so indelibly associated with her — to change one’s approach and design with a different aesthetic in mind. I mean, really, how do you do that?

“I don’t know that I’m necessarily coming at it from a different approach, as I am clearly the same person,” she said in an e-mail. “I feel like my aesthetic has evolved — (but) I still love the unexpected.”

Nick Foles Only Confirmed Eagles Player Planning to Attend White House:

It appears the contingent of Philadelphia Eagles players who planned to visit the White House was even smaller than expected.

According to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles might have been the only player in attendance for Tuesday’s slated celebration. One more player may have joined him.

President Donald Trump canceled the event Monday with a statement noting the Eagles were unable to come with their full team, via Rapoport.

The White House claimed it originally believed 81 Eagles personnel were going to visit the White House, per Jason Clark of NBC Philadelphia

Bill Gates is giving 2018 college grads his favorite new book for free:

Bill Gates has some words of advice in the form of a gift for 2018 college graduates.

On Tuesday, the billionaire Microsoft (MSFT) cofounder and philanthropist said he’ll pick up the tab for all US college graduates to download a copy of Hans Rosling’s book, “Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World–and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.

Rosling, who died at age 68 last year, wrote “Factfulness” alongside his son Ola and daughter-in-law Anna. The Swedish statistician and academic was well-known for his Ted talks.
