New York Fashion Week:Tracy Reese Spring 2014 Inspiration & Sketch

Tracy Reese Spring 2014 Sketch

Last season, it was standing room only at designer Tracy Reese’s NYFW show, despite winter storm Nemo, her show played to a full house. So what does one of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers have in store for Spring 2014?  Here’s what her team sent us to describe her Spring 2014 collection:

“Tracy Reese spring 2014 radiates sensuality, energy and optimism with an array of bold, spirited styles infused with Afro-Cuban influences to create an aesthetic full of texture and movement. Balancing fresh, feminine styles and modern sportswear, the collection is rich in detail, including leather and raffia embroideries and authentic athletic accents. Silhouettes range from crop-tops paired with full midi-skirts and cropped trousers to signature fit and flare frocks. Textile highlights include geometric laces, tribal embroideries and bonded technical knits. Prints, always a staple of Tracy Reese collections, include mixed scale gingham and window pane, tropical floral placements and tribal geometrics in a spectrum of pinks, blues, greens and ochre. Building on Afro-Cuban cultural influences, key looks such as a bold lapis and scarlet floral flyaway frock with back ruffle detail, a striped scarlet and black flyaway tee, structured crisp white trousers and fisherman-inspired sandals express the effortless style of the modern woman who is sexy, assured and contemporary.”

Sounds casual, bright and comfortable. What do you think readers?
