Reed Krakoff and his French wife Delphine love Paris. I visit as often as I can, he says. I travel for inspiration because its my job, but even if I wasnt working, Id still be traveling. He mentioned wanting to open a permanent Paris store one day. In the meantime, the designer (left, with Virginie Mouzat) and his brands new president, Valrie Hermann, created a showroom on three levels of the Galerie Karsten Greve in the Marais to introduce Parisians to his new collection. Ive kind of done everything in reverse, Krakoff muses. After 25 years designing for others, I really wanted to do my own thing and use all my experience to do it well. Among those there to take it in: Sarah Lerfel, who buys Krakoff for Colette; Olympia Le-Tan and her illustrator papa Pierre Le-Tan, who has done projects for Krakoff at Coach; jewelry designer Harumi Klossowski, Balthus daughter; Comme des Garons Adrian Joffe; fashion publishers Olivier Zahm of Purple and Ezra Petronio from Self Service; and Alexis Mabille, who didnt let the fact of his impending haute couture show keep him away.
