Luxury, Democratized

Reed Krakoff's approach to design is anything but ordinary. And yet, he's one of the chief architects of the accessible luxury movement. Before his nearly 20-year run at Coach, where he fully changed the game, he worked at Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. And more recently, he did a much-talked-about stint at Tiffany. Now, he's advising the LVMH-linked investment firm L Catterton on multiple brands, including the 50-year-old jeweler John Hardy. He and Lauren discuss all that and more—from growing up to in Connecticut to getting fired in New York City, and what it felt like to experience truly next-level success. Reed also has advice for today's brand builders.
