Tracy Reese AW09
Tracy Reese bucked the trend for designing her autumn/winter collection around a theme, instead choosing to show a variety of individual pretty looks.
Reese touched on the tribal trend with African style necklaces and prints. There were also 1920s inspired dresses with dropped waists and frilly skirts.
Sophisticated pinstripe trousers and suit jackets were given a sexy twist with sheer tops and floral dresses.
Colours were warm and dark with burnt orange and violet but there were also pieces in jewel shades such as an emerald green dress and violet knits.
Reese used floral patterns but toned them down from spring's brights choosing bigger flowers and darker colours.
Outfits were given a girly edge with the models all wearing ponytails and knee high socks.
Our favourite piece from the collection was a peach coloured mini dress decorated with gold sequin patches and a silver beaded v-neckline. It was brought into the autumn season with a chunky oatmeal coloured cardigan and black beanie hat.
A great collection that we're sure will soon be seen on celebrities across the pond.
