The Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2013 collection takes on a menswear inspiration that highlights oversized silhouettes and impeccable tailoring. From suited separates to classic coats, this womenswear line experiments with non-traditional shapes and proportions.

Showcasing a [utilitarian aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026), this collection features a palette of neutral and monochromatic tones paired with subtle hints of artful ornamentation. These decorative hints can be seen through hand-painted textile patterns. From exaggerated shoulders to leather accents, the Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2013 catalog is the epitome of sleek sophistication.

While the rest of this collection features subtly feminine elements like skirts and dresses, it is the label's [androgynous coat garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) that catch our attention. Paired with chunky knits, clean lines and simple silhouettes embrace an aesthetic of [modern minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea).
