Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2013

The concept of men's uniforms — those worn in the boardroom, on the battlefield, and at the ballpark — inspired Reed Krakoff to create a masculine Pre-Fall 2013 offering freshened up with feminine details.

The concept of men's uniforms — those worn in the boardroom, on the battlefield, and at the ballpark — inspired Reed Krakoff to create a masculine Pre-Fall 2013 offering freshened up with feminine details.

"I wanted to figure out a way to take the things you would normally find in a man's wardrobe and make them fresh and feminine," he said. To that end, the designer turned men's suits into boxy blazers, coats, and slim trousers for day wear. Skirts often came with asymmetrical hems and were paired with luxurious tops like a v-neck sweater vest in mink and cashmere or oversize raglan sweaters. Texture was just as important here as shape: Krakoff cut a bomber jacket from shearling, for example, and printed the pony hair of a topcoat to look like snakeskin. A lace t-shirt dress would have been a little out of place here, but dipping it in black rubber made it stand up to the other strong pieces in this collection.

Reed Krakoff Spring 2013

Reed Krakoff's Spring 2013 collection was delicate in color, silhouette, and fabric.

Reed Krakoff's Spring 2013 collection was delicate in color, silhouette, and fabric. Neutral hues found themselves on everything from blazers to shorts to dresses to trousers. Loose-fitting clothes lent a relaxed vibe, while silky and sheer fabrics were super feminine. Hemlines were demure, with the exception of the shorts. There was a sporty air throughout the show thanks to elastic-waist pants and collarless jackets. Tuxedo pants screamed chic, collared blouses buttoned up all the way were strong, and lingerie-inspired styles provided a contrasting softness. The only pop of color on the catwalk was a few coral pieces and the only print was a snakeskin skirt.

Garance Dore Reed Krakoff Boxer Bag Travel Diary

Garance Doré took a few iterations of Reed Krakoff's Boxer Bag on her travels to New York, Paris, Tokyo, and beyond. The result? A photo story that went live on the designer's site Monday.

"It's the kind of bag you get so attached to that you end up taking it everywhere you go," Doré told WWD. "The pictures came naturally as I was living my life. Montauk on the beach, New York for Fashion Week, Paris with my love . . . so many great memories."

In the audio slideshow that accompanies the collaboration, Doré says she loves "the idea of taking a very chic bag out of its context." Doré's photos of the Boxer — which retails for $990 and up — here, in the gallery.

NYFW: Rachel Zoe's Sharp Suit Means (Fashion) Business

Rachel Zoe arrived to the Reed Krakoff show at New York Fashion Week in an ensemble that is praise-worthy on so many levels.

Rachel Zoe arrived to the Reed Krakoff show at New York Fashion Week in an ensemble that is praise-worthy on so many levels. First, the suit fits her like a glove, which is key when picking the right suit. Then, the plaid pattern keeps her look more fashion than business. And finally, round glasses, a super-chic Reed Krakoff bag, and a huge cocktail ring inject even more style pizazz. Even if you're not sitting front row at a fashion show, Rachel's look is perfect for when you have a super-important business meeting. Just ditch the glasses and ring and start with an impeccable suit that balances the fine line between fashion and business. Ditch the classic button-down shirt for a white tie-front blouse. Carry a statement bag that's standout but not too loud, and throw a long coat over your shoulders à la Rachel. Then revel in the attention you'll command in your power suit.

"[With Pre-Fall] it's about clothes that evoke an emotional reaction, clothes that you fall in love with piece by piece, not necessary a full look," he explained. Contrast patchwork, python print, and vibrant green run throughout.
