Tracy Reese Mercedes Benz Fashion Week The Tents at Bryant Park February 4, 2007 www.mercedesbenzfashionweek.com Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Mary Blanco

Tracy Reese marched into Fashion Week with a playful, whimsical, vintage- looking line. Her "We're going to have fun with this" attitude was quickly introduced when the first model walked down the runway sprouting a lace mob cap.

A return-to-the-sixties theme was evident with Reese's voluminous A-line dresses, swing coats featuring three quarter length sleeves and my-grandmother-has-the-most-amazing duster-in-her-closet coats. Boldly patterned polka dot and broad striped hose were everywhere as were fun retro-looks-to-the-future metallics.
