Abstract expressionist artist Robert Motherwells Open series of pared-down drawings informed the palette of Reed Krakoffs resort collection. Charcoal black, cornflower blue, grass green and white evolved the designers utilitarian, uniform proclivities with a softer, more feminine touch. There was still a sense of geometry prints bordered with white panels and leather perforations but the silhouettes were less architectural and more curvilinear for a refreshingly light effect. Case in point: a soft tulip-shaped dress with a structured bustier top, and a white trenchcoat done in a hand-drawn floral pattern. It has this sort of sensual, artisanal quality, Krakoff said of the print. He acknowledged a shifting mind-set as well. Im able to relax a bit and let things happen, he said. The biggest difference is to kind of let things evolve. |
