Black Designer Dazzles at NY Fashion Week

Color Rules

Vibrant colors such as acid tangerine, cobalt blue and electric teal illuminated Tracy Reese's Fall 2012 fashion collection. Her seasonal showcase at the tents of New York City's Lincoln Center is a rare forum for a black designer.

Mesmerizing Metallics

Metallic gold hues burnished the luxurious collection.

Opposites Attract

Tailored coats were paired with flirty dresses.

Elegant Embellishments

Models graced the runway adorned in richly embellished dresses.

Color Me Bad

A pop of color enlivened each ensemble.

Transitional Phase

This breezy, summer looked begged to be layered over in the transition to fall.

Guns Blazing

The toned arms of a first lady are advised for this flowing, sleeveless look.

Fall Colors Redefined

The best defense against autumn winds is a warm and dazzling coat.

Mix and Match

Reese frequently mixed hue-rich floral prints with monochrome grid patterns.

Showstopper

In many an outfit, the dazzle factor was reined in by a sleek cinch belt.

Fail Safe

Throw this coat over any outfit for a look that's both plush and electrifying.

I've Got the Blues

Cobalt blue and electric teal ruled the runway.
