Plenty of Lovin’

Tracy Reese PLENTY Spring 2007 Preview
Written By Yvette N. Coleman

In her charming showroom in mid town Manhattan, Tracy Reese lets fashion insiders get close and personal with her Spring '07 Plenty collection.  Each model that appeared looked so fresh, warm with a soft sexiness that made one forget that it was merely 40 degrees and windy right outside those ceiling high windows.  Exotic prints inspired from far off places around the globe were the inspirations for the Plenty collection.  As each look came to life it was apparent that I am definitely a Plenty type of woman. I could imagine myself sashaying in the city of blaring horns with a Bahamas vacation on my mind!

Plenty has tribal classic natural woven fabrics reminiscent of Nigeria. Prints are in classic colors and are primarily in aqua, pinks, browns and ivory similar to Seychelles island off the coast of Africa, where coconut, bananas and fresh fish are the way of life.   Javanese, Balinese and Tiki prints place you in the setting of well adorned Legong dancers with well executed steps of the ancient Hindu-Javanese dance. The collection has gorgeous and soothing colors in shades of brown, amber, orchid, coral and sand.   Tracy continues to offer classic looks to enjoy now and for the future. Her lush fabric choices and bohemian appeal has won over and over in the fashion industry. 

Plenty offers perfect pieces for every occasion. So what is the difference between Plenty and Tracy Reese?   “Plenty is the younger and funkier version of its bigger sister Tracy…Tracy Reese is uptown and Plenty is downtown chic, it just depends on your mind.” 

Recently, Tracy ventured into Home design, accessories and most triumphantly, opened her first Flagship Boutique in Manhattan's Meatpacking District at 641 Hudson Street.

P.S.
In person Tracy gives you such amazing energy and passion. Her label is not just a job but how she lives what she believes.  She shares her light with each collection and is genuine and honest each time.  It was a pleasure to be in her presence, however short lived.
