Katherine Pendrill — November 11, 2015 — Fashion
Kohl's recently announced that it will be teaming up with Reed Krakoff on a line of affordable apparel. As the 'H&M x Balmain' collection demonstrated, consumers are eager to shop for fast fashion pieces by their favorite designers. The latest high-low clothing collaboration will feature garments by Reed Krakoff, who is the former executive creative director of Coach.
The new 'Krakoff x Kohl's' collection will include a number of affordable garments and accessories. The accessible luxury line will be called 'REED' and it will mainly consist of casual pieces. Although on the casual side, the items will feature interesting details such as stripes, color-blocking and dip-dyed decals. Additionally, each of the pieces will be priced between $15 and $129.
Unfortunately the collection is slated for Spring of next year, meaning Krakoff fans will have to wait until April 2016 to get their hands on the discount collection.
