Kate Spade New York is under fire for joining forces with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a new promotional video for the brand’s spring collection.
Mulvaney, 26 — who uses she/they pronouns — posted a clip to TikTok on Tuesday that shows her shopping around Spade’s Rockefeller Center store, fawning over a mini white purse and a pink puffy-sleeved dress, completing the look with a necklace and earrings because “more is always more.”
“And honestly, I think I’m gonna wear this out of the store,” Mulvaney said, running out the front door without paying. “So, happy spring!”
The cheerful ad rankled some conservatives, who slammed Kate Spade for hiring a transgender woman to promote traditionally feminine clothing.
