DALLAS, Aug 31, 2005/ FW/ ---- In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the news from New Orleans is bleak, but on Sunday, September 11, 2005 at 2:00 PM at The Plaza in Bryant Park, Tracy Reese will bring back the grandeur of this southern city with her Spring 2006 collection.

Described as a ‘winsome reverie of tiered, frothy looks with intriguing delicacy,’ Tracy Reese merges two golden eras in this collection - the Edwardian Belle Époque with the 1960s and ‘Pretty Baby’s’ southern belle of 1917 New Orleans.

With pieces named as ‘Fondant,’ ‘Filigree’ and ‘Frolic,’ the New York-based designer sets a creamy foundation for elegant romantic pieces the continues to epitomize her signature style, ‘feminine chic.’

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Tracy Reese studied at the Parson’s School of Design, wherein after graduation she trained under Martine Sitbon and worked with designer Perry Ellis.

In 1998, she launched her eponymous label, and in 2000 she launched her second line, ‘Plenty by Tracy Reese.’

In seven years since the debut of ‘Tracy Reese,’ the label has become synonymous with ‘perfect pieces for the modern woman who simply loves to be a girl.’

Inspired by her exploration of flea markets and travels throughout Europe, Reese continually reveals timeless, wearable looks that pull from vintage and bohemian influences.

Reese’s latest venture, Plenty by Tracy Reese HOME’ is an extension of her colorful, bohemian inspired designs. Sold at Anthropologie, Plenty by Tracy Reese HOME’ includes embellished pillows, throws, sheet sets and curtains.

And with editorials from top fashion magazines that include Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, Tracy Reese popularity continues to grow season after season.
