nyfw. day 5. part 2.

Tracy Reese

The color is fantastic, and the coat has a peplum!!

You'll sense a theme in this post: I love color! and I love texture! For Reese's collection it was all about the bold colors, there were fiery oranges and bright yellows and purples. A few of the super bold colored pieces were in satin; I'm not a big fan of it - while I love the weave and would love to wear it inside out (and I've seen a designer do that), it just doesn't do it for me. But other than that I really enjoyed the collection and those adorable trucker hats. Oh on a side note, the last dress can totally be used as an Indian outfit with a churidar.

These colors! Those gloves!

This is just so much fun.

This collection is elegance personified, but not boring (if that's what you think about elegance). Also, yeh for color-blocking continuing into Fall.

This coat. My closet.

When I was looking at this collection, the song "I'm Sexy and I know it" was playing in my head. Not in a funny way, although I did laugh out loud for a minute there. But this collection was sexy to me, not in the obvious sense but it just really gave me that feeling. After I had saved my favorite pictures, I read the review and it said that he was inspired by "Ed and Nancy Kienholz's installation re-creating Amsterdam's red-light district, The Hoerengracht." So props to Mr. Panichgul for getting that inspiration across to me because sometimes it just doesn't happen.

This collection. Easy chic. Even if I never say the words easy chic in real life.

Screams 90s and the 90s were good to me and you know also Buffy would totally wear a shorter version of this last dress and probably did.

Okay, so this. I'm not really sure where to begin. Okay, I'm not this person...the person who would wear this stuff, even the imaginary version of myself doesn't wear this stuff. But, I didn't know what I was missing. This collection just gave another persona to add to my list of personas that I'd like to be in the hopefully near future where I have money and I live in a city and work in, like for real 'in', fashion. I just wanted all these pieces on my bed and wanted to roll around them and laugh like a maniac. Yeah, so there's that. And of course I imagined it and am now currently imagining it again. I wanna want to be a Custo Barcelona girl young woman girl. Sounds better.
