Mazel Tov! Tracy Reese celebrated her 10^th anniversary milestone collection by giving us more of the flirty femme looks we love.

Tracy Reese is one of my all time favorite designers. I like to call her dresses “brunch dresses” because they’re exactly what you want to pull out of your closet and wear to a Sunday morning brunch date. Her clothes are transformative and can take you from “oh my damn!” to glam in an instant. They make you look pretty and pulled together with minimal effort.

The Tracy Reese collection for Spring 2008 was all about bright, happy dressing — bold colors, eye-catching prints, and sweeping lines. Models wore clothes were soaked in color from a belted lavender dress to a beachy marigold shift and tapering off to crisp, white palazzo pants. She sent wide-brimmed hats and parasols down the catwalk as if we were under the French Riviera sun. One word – drama.

Apparently I’m not the only one all caught up in the cult of Tracy Reese. The crowd read like a who’s who and included industry notables like Andre Leon Talley, Bethann Hardison, Tim Gunn, Veronica Webb and “noted fashion photographer” Nigel Barker.
