The Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2012 collection is all about accessories. Pairing elbow-length black leather gloves with ladylike suits and dresses is a bold move, and adding insanely high, sharp heels that Style.com called "bladelike" to that look makes it even bolder. Shoes came in pointy-toed python and crocodile skin, and to top off the look, the models carried glossy frame bags.
This mix of elegance and edginess is Krakoff's signature. He is also the president and executive creative director of Coach, and that type of streamlined, yet sensual appeal can certainly be found in the Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Featuring a palette of "vibrant green, cameo pink, and cordovan brown, along with black and white," the collection is simple, sophisticated, and somehow still super sexy.
