The debut of a former shop assistant (now a millionaire).
The American dream still exists: you can become a millionaire from scratch.
Another one to be added to the list is Reed Krakoff, 45 years, married to a French architect, with five children. It took him a little more than twenty years, working as a shop assistant in a Versace shop, to become the head of the Coach accessories empire with a turnover of 2.5 billions, 500 shops and a huge building overlooking the Hudson River, all of his own.
Yesterday Krakoff made his catwalk debut with a collection under his own label.
An expert in manufacturing leather to make it look like satin with which he creates evening wear, small coats and outstanding boots.
His passion for art brings him to experiment with forms and volumes.
His warm and “worn look” colours express his love for photography.
The fabrics he uses, mainly cachemire, convey his taste for beauty.
The result is a collection of modern medieval garments, full of charme and elegance, simply light cloth draped and stapled.
A debut with honours!
