"   Photo: Imaxtree  Yesterday at the Reed Krakoff headquarters at 34th street, the Creative Director of Coach and designer of his eponymous line presented his spring collection\u2014a particularly anticipated one given the success of his AW10 debut. Runway veteran Stella Tennant opened the show and set the fiercely feminine mood for Krakoff&amp;#039;s second collection whose brightest spots were boar&amp;#039;s hair-trimmed sandals (a Krakoff staple?), a black and white shirtdress that looked like a Franz Kline painting, leather dresses that wrapped like a kimono, and precisely tailored pantsuits with utilitarian aprons. Just as Krakoff promised, his collection was equal parts grace and grit, and &amp;quot;a crisper, more crystallized expression of the juxtapositions on which the brand is based.&amp;quot; Earlier in the morning, Michael Kors showed a collection without juxtapositions but full of classic sportswear that, when coupled with Krakoff&amp;#039;s clothes, might produce the perfect wardrobe. His loose knits and cashmere sweater dresses came in greys and camels, but they were heightened with sequined pants, chunky knit swimsuits, knotted leather belts and dresses bursting with yellow and forest green against The Beatles&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Here Comes the Sun.&amp;quot; Which all-American brand are you more excited to wear come spring?
