Reed Krakoff and Narciso Rodriguez seem to become more and more alike with each season, with the clear edge going to Rodriguez where construction/taste is concerned. This is a solid and lovely collection, certainly nothing exciting though.
not a fan of his spring colour palette which i find unflatering for lots of women,
still i really appreciate Reed Karakoff's work
he's a true rising star
one of my very few #NYFW faves
i love reed's take on things....agree there are some similarities to narciso rodriguez but there is something a bit tougher in its beauty about this. both outstanding collections this season, imo.

Really love the looks that combine light and heavy in the juxtaposition of leather and sheerness. And the burnout / patterned sheer pieces are divine.
