>> The always art and architecture-influenced Reed Krakoff settled on the abstract stain paintings of the early '60s and their saturated hues for his Resort 2012 inspiration. The resultant emerald greens, Yves Klein blues, and tomato reds made their way onto leather suiting and python wrap skirts, mixed in with transparent chain mail pieces. But Krakoff wasn't a 2011 CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year nominee for nothing — his latest offering includes T-strapped sandals, chunky platforms, Klein blue matte python satchels, and extra-small evening clutches.
