Sneak Peek: Tracy Reese Spring 2012


One of my fave designers Tracy Reese will be presenting her spring/summer 2012 collection in just a few short weeks at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Here's a sneak peek from the designer:

For spring 2012, designer Tracy Reese is inspired by a land of pure delight. Softly voluminous styles pair with lean, refined silhouettes, evolving proportions with a focus on modern fluidity. "A feminine yet relaxed mood is achieved through the juxtaposition of romance and sport, comfort and flattery. Subtle hues of khaki and blush mixed with pastel shades of waterfall, misty blue and aqua tears gradually intensify to deep saturated tones and neon brights, making a bold splash for the transition into summer. A drapey culotte jumpsuit in waterfall, complimented with drawstring waist and seductive neckline details, pairs with a lemon zest hat and printed platform sandals to embody the relaxed mood of the season," says Reese.


I'm loving the sound of the color palette (hold on to your neon brights for next season!) and can't wait to see the complete collection.
