Verbatim Inspiration NYFW: Tracy Reese Spring 2011
By Lauren
“Spring 2011 evokes effortlessly chic dressing, redefining favorite silhouettes and offering women simple yet sexy looks with a classic TR touch. Sultry elements animate a minimalist approach, like this nude silk blouse and pleat pocket flare pant, creating a sleek, monochromatic moment of confidence and sensuality.”

Fall 2010 Heart Truth Red Dress Collection, Jessica Met Reggie Bush
By Jessica
“You gotta have heart.” That was the message at the Fall 2010 Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show, one that I look forward to every season!
The cause is as beautiful as the fashions: to raise awareness about heart disease, the #1 killer of women. Visit www.hearttruth.gov for
more information about the disease and what you can do to help! The fact that celebrities lent their star power to such a noble cause made the night even more positive.
Rewind to the beginning. After rushing to our third row seats right before the show started, my girlfriend and I were pleased to see my crush, Reggie Bush, seated in the front row, literally seconds away. To my friend’s horror and utter dismay, I had to go introduce myself. I mean, I was only singing his praises on POSHGLAM last week.
I went to say Hi and Congratulate him on the huge Superbowl win! I was pleased to discover that Reggie is kind and gracious, the perfect gentleman. He even posed for a picture (see below). All thoughts that I may be closer to that wedding were dashed when I realized he was there to support his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. (I’m totally kidding! They’re cute together and I’m completely happy for them).
Though Reggie Bush caused quite a stir (someone behind me asked, “Is that 50 Cent?”), once the show started, all eyes were on the celebrity models.
And what a sight to see! Underneath chandeliers and with an adorable red and white set in the background, celebs stormed the catwalk in support of heart disease awareness.
Reality star, Bethenny Frankel, was an adorable, pregnant lady in Isabella Oliver.
Desperate Housewives actress, Felicity Huffman, walked out in Oscar de la Renta and took a moment to hug her husband, who was cheering her on in the front row.
Singer and new jewelry designer, Estelle, worked the catwalk in a lovely Zac Posen gown. Her purple eye make-up, courtesy of celebrity artist, A.J. Crimson, was the perfect accent.
The legendary actress, Joan Collins, walked out to applause in Stephanie Rolland.
Crooner, Jordin Sparks of American Idol fame showed off a svelte figure in a form-fitting Badgley Mischka gown.
The one-and-only Kim Kardashian was a radiant beauty in a Marchesa gown that showed off her famous curves. She worked it on the runway, stopping long enough to blow a kiss to Reggie in the front row.
Kimora Lee stormed the catwalk in a short, embellished dress from her new line, Kouture by Kimora.
Raven-Symone was the ultimate runway diva in Tadashi Shoji, even kicking off her shoes before making a dramatic exit to backstage.
The lovely actress, Regina King, sashayed down the runway in a one-shoulder Tracy Reese dress to to Alicia Keys’ “Put it in a Love Song.”
Newscaster, Robin Roberts walked out to thunderous applause in a J.Crew Collection gown that highlighted her toned upper body.
Heart Truth Red Dress Collection fixture, Heidi Klum, stole the show in a gorgeous John Galliano gown. She’s even more beautiful in person!
After the runway show, I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Verdi and Micah Jesse, whose blog made our Top 25 list last year. I even got to see Wendy Williams, my favorite radio jock turned TV show host. The fun-filled fashion show was the perfect end to Day 1 of Fashion Week. Stay tuned for more insider coverage.

The Fashion Community Gives Back to Haiti
By Jessica
Compassion will always be in style. That’s why in an effort to lend a helping hand to Haiti, several retailers have donated proceeds of their sales and designed special edition Haiti-inspired pieces. Here is a list of brands that are dedicating their efforts, time and monies to Haiti earthquake relief. From a Ralph Lauren Haiti Relief Polo shirt to a Unique Vintage umbrella, these pieces will make you look and feel good all at the same time.
1-Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren has joined forces with the United Way to create the Haiti Relief Polo Shirt. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Haiti Relief Polo Shirt will be donated to the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund, an organization that is providing aid to the traumatized nation. Shop Ralph Lauren.
2-The CFDA
The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) designers have created a $25 “Fashion for Haiti” Men’s and Women’s T-shirt, which benefits the Clinton Bush Haiti fund. “The tragedy in Haiti has affected everyone and most of us individually have given money for relief,” said Diane von Furstenberg, CFDA president. “However, I think it is now important to send a message and create a channel for funding from fashion as an industry.” The shirt will be manufactured by Theory. Shop CFDA and the following retailers starting February 12: Carolina Herrera, Devi Kroell, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan International, Elie Tahari, Foley + Corinna, Generra, Giuseppe Zanotti, Intermix, Manolo Blahnik, Nanette Lepore, Ralphlauren.com, Rugby.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Scoop, Tory Burch, Tracy Reese, Trina Turk and Zero + Maria Cornejo.
3–Alexis Bittar
Alexis Bittar donated 100 percent of sales from the online store to Haiti relief last week, from Monday, January 18th to Friday, January 22nd. The proceeds were donated to Catholic Relief Services for Haiti Relief, which gives 93% of its donations directly to the cause.
4-Diesel
Renzo Rosso (the founder and president of Diesel clothing) donated $250,000 to Yele Haiti, the foundation started by Grammy-award winning musician Wyclef Jean. Renzo says, “I was deeply moved by the horrible tragedy in Haiti. I wanted to do something for the people and support the important work that Wyclef and his foundation have done and are doing for the island nation.”
That’s not all. Rosso’s heart has always been with helping the disadvantaged and that’s why he founded the Only the Brave Foundation in 2008, a non-profit aimed to empower and mobilize youth to end poverty. His donation to Yele Haiti will add up to another pledge to start an Only The Brave/ Yéle Haiti music studio in Cité Soleil, with the goal to use music and video production as a tool for social development.
5-Tracy Reese
Accomplished designer, Tracy Reese, was so deeply touched and moved by the human response to the Haiti crisis that she donated 10% of all the proceeds from the Tracy Reese boutique in Manhattan to American Red Cross during the weekend of January 15th. You can still make a donation directly to the American Red Cross here.
6-Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 Collection

The Fame legging comes in Metallic silver and retails for $90 but is $65 for a limited time only. Shop 6126 Collection.
“It is truly horrible what has happened to the people and children in Haiti,” said Lindsay Lohan. “I believe every company should do their part to help by donating what they can. Please help us do our part for the Children of Haiti by purchasing this 6126 legging.”

By Faith

Tracy Reese’s Spring 2010 Collection for her frock! line is a woman’s dream with enough feminine and exuberant pieces to last a whole lifetime. With warm weather comes the opportunity to show some skin and Tracy Reese wants women to do just that. The line is comprised of three different inspirations named: “Wanderlust” , “Ladybird” and “Starboard”.
“Wanderlust” refers to the Tracy Reese woman who loves travel and rich and beautiful pieces to accompany her journeys. Animated shades of purples, blues, and oranges are shown and sultry cut-out necklines enhance otherwise simple silhouettes. The “Wanderlust” pieces are easy and work perfectly from day to night.
More elegant designs are shown in the “Ladybird” pieces which are inspired by British nobility and feature feminine silhouettes. The color palette is more delicate featuring softer shades of blues and neutrals. Sheaths are present and skirts are fuller. Daisies also make an appearance for the ultimate ladylike look.
The “Starboard” pieces are the preppy pieces of the frock! 2010 Collection. 1940’s are the inspiration with stripes galore. The retro vibe can be felt in button-detailed dresses and sailor collars.
The frock! by Tracy Reese Spring 2010 collection has a little something for every woman who loves flirty and fun fashions. More highlights from the collection below.

Sneak Peek: Tracy Reese Spring 2010
By Faith
For Spring 2010, Tracy Reese is playing with juxtapositions. The line will be a study in contrasts: architectural structuring vs. relaxed silhouettes, hard and edgy vs. soft and delicate, sheer vs. opaque. As always, Tracy will embrace the femininity that she is best known for with draping, ruching, and embellishments. Color will also be a strong trend with exciting combinations, lively prints, and powerful shapes that will bring a fresh and exhilarating look to the runway.
Tracy describes the collection: ” To enter spring with a modern and upbeat attitude we used vibrant hues and the combination of architectural shapes and easy folds on drapey materials. A passion fruit surplice frock in a relaxed, draped silhouette with textural embellishment is the perfect piece to kick off the season with a look that is elegant with edge.”
Tracy Reese’s Spring 2010 collection is sure to be a delight. If you missed her Fall 2009 collection, see some of the highlights below (courtesy of Style.com).
