When Bad Things Happen To Great Designers

May 7, 2010

Even some of the best fashion designers in the world have off moments. Today we premiere a new feature about the occasional lapses in sartorial judgment by some of the best in the business.

Reed Krakoff, the creative genius behind the renaissance of Coach, and a Ralph Lauren /Tommy Hilfiger alumni, premiered his first collection under his own label for Fall 2010.
