Iconic fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead Tuesday morning in her NYC apartment ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources confirm she was found 10:20 AM ET, and had hanged herself in her Park Avenue home. She was pronounced dead on the scene. 

Kate got her start in the '80s working for women's magazine "Mademoiselle" in Manhattan, when she moved in with Andy Spade -- David Spade's brother. She and Andy met in college while working at a clothing store.

Together, Kate and Andy launched Kate Spade Handbags in 1993, and it blossomed into a full-scale clothing and jewelry line. Kate and Andy got married in 1994.

Kate sold her company in 2007 and took some time off to raise her daughter -- but got back in the game in 2016 by launching a new fashion brand called Frances Valentine ... named after her daughter.

Kate was 55.

RIP

Was your response really necessary?

I get that and I know that we’re really here to talk about Gaga, but your comment sounded like the only reason this is sad or newsworthy is because Gaga wore her glasses. It just seemed insensitive and irrelevant.
