Tracy Reese Fall 2009 Collection Inspiration

Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week officially starts next week but we’ve got a sneak peek of a sketch to from Tracy Reese‘s Fall 2009 collection which will show on Monday, February 16th at 1pm at The Salon at Bryant Park. Reese’s latest collection is inspired by post-impressionist portraiture, including the works of Vuillard, Van Gogh and Modigliani and their expressive use of color as a vehicle to convey mood, she combines pattern mixing and rich color combinations to create an eclectic fall 2009 collection. Romance and understated glamour meet rustic chic, mixing raspberry plaids, pink florals and basil green argyles. Layering prints and patterns are key. Relaxed and slender silhouettes with menswear influences look chic when paired with spectator heels. What’s your first impression? #NYFW
