Tracy Reese's New Dress Collection For Anthropologie Launches Tomorrow

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:32:05 PDT

Anthropologie just nabbed Tracy Reese as one of its designers for its Made in Kind May collection. With three frock-filled collections on her own - Tracy Reese, Plenty, and Frock - it's safe to say the designer knows a thing or two about creating cute and flattering dresses for all kinds of women. Her new line for Anthropologie, launching tomorrow, was inspired by rich garden landscapes from a visit to Frida Kahlo's museum, resulting in ladylike flora-filled dresses. Some are treated with oversize bow embellishments, while others feature delicate lace dipped in a saturated teal hue. The best part? The modest hemlines and pretty prints can easily take you from a long day at work to tea time in 30 seconds flat with just a few simple accessory swaps. Tracy Reese's seven-piece collection for Anthropologie ranges from $248 to $348; see the complete collection now in the slideshow.

Tracy Reese Creates a Look "For Normal People"

Annie Tomlin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:57:50 PST

Need even more proof that street style is having a huge influence on the runways? Look to Tracy Reese, who went for what she calls an "accessible" look. That's not to say that the collection or beauty look lacked polish, though. Though the styles weren't overly complex, they were cohesive as a whole. "The clothes are meant to be worn by normal people," Reese said. "When the complete look comes together, it sends a head-to-toe message." Read on to see how that look came together.

Tracy Reese Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:16:00 PDT

It was a pocket full of posies for Tracy Reese today at her Spring runway show. Forming a juxtaposition between romance and sport, Reese created a colorful collection filled with pretty botanical prints and colors. Anorak jackets tempered feminine floral sequin tees and sweet bathing suit rompers, while peacock blue high-waist leather shorts added a modern edge to buttercup floral blouses. For dresses, Reese showed a range of styles from ruched body-con one-shoulder dresses to pretty, picnic-ready posy print dresses in a flowy flattering fit. Fluid palazzo pants and jumpsuits, lace inset maxi skirts, and our favorite, sheer striped linen dresses and skirts, further the languid, effortless tone. For extra flourish, Reese accessorized with structured statement hats from Jennifer Ouellette and even threw in a couple of throwback floral print umbrellas. So cute. More details from the show below.

Trends: Palazzo pants, anoraks, romper bathing suits, bold floral prints.

Colors: Peacock blue, pink, yellow, coral, black, khaki, pearl white.

Key Look: The sheer linen looks and the peacock blue leather shorts.

Accessories: Round color-tinted sunglasses, lace-up platform sandals, structured Jennifer Ouellette hats.

Exclusive! First Look at Tracy Reese's Plenty Holiday Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 03:20:25 PDT

"No matter the occasion, it is most important for a woman to feel great in what she is wearing," said Tracy Reese. That said, it's time for an exclusive look at her Plenty Holiday collection - we know; it's still Summer but the festive season will be here before you know it. The line, which Reese designed with the “party girl” in mind, shows off throwback '60- and '70s- inspired silhouettes. "The plenty collection is more youthful [than my signature line] with flirty silhouettes in gem tones," said Reese, who cited the classic black dress as her closet go-to. Regarding her use on prints, the designer noted: "I usually gain inspiration from my surroundings. Whether in New York or when I take trips to foreign cities, I am inspired by the people, architecture, and art that I encounter." Check out the slideshow to see more holiday inspiration from the Plenty byTracy Reese collection.

Combining Runway Trends: The Boho Band Braid and Teased Hair

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:38:00 PST

Two of this Fashion Week's most prominent hair trends were fancy bohemian-style braids and teased, high-texture hair, appearing at Rachel Roy and Tracy Reese (among other shows). I like both looks but wanted to combine them into something simpler to do and more wearable for the office. So I kept the braid's center part, but instead of doing a time-consuming wraparound, I just did two smaller band braids from the center. Then, I teased up the back of my hair with an Rsession Tools teasing comb ($13). What do you think? Is it a workable fusion of the two big trends, or do you think I should come up with a different way to put them together?
