Tracy Reese Fall 2008 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Bryant Park - Promenade February 3, 2008 Written by Jamie Sharpe Photographed by Al McCotter

It was bright, big and pretty at the Tracy Reese Fall 2008 fashion show. The looks were uniquely feminine and showcased Reese’s impeccable taste. There was an explosion of flowers, prints, colors, stripes, and ruffles that depicted a dreamland fantastic. Directionally, there were a lot of going on with the clothing, but Reese made it all come together.

Icy hues mingled with vibrant scarlet and kelly green tones. With any other designer, this vast color palette would have been disastrous. But Reese pulled everything together and wrapped it up with a nice little bow. Berets and looser fits to the clothing gave an upscale bohemian feel to the collection. While off-shoulder Grecian numbers and full skirts touted a je ne sais quoi sensibility.

Bold color combinations, prints, fabrics, and cuts made the line distinct, yet cohesive. Everything looked effortless, but not one hair was out of place. Just leave it to the talented Tracy Reese to pull of French girl glamour with a Soho twist.
