Tracy Reese arrives

Just a couple of years ago, a Tracy Reese fashion show was a sweet,
intimate affair and getting in was a breeze. Not so on Sunday. It took
more than a half hour to pack 'em in, and plenty got turned away.
(Jennifer Hudson was rumored to be a confirmed guest, although I
didn't see her. Kelly Rowland, who is still milking the Destiny's
Child connection, was front and center and much more eager to talk to
reporters than she was when she headline Glamorama last September.
Reese showed swingy shift dresses, A-line coats, tunics, and short
sleeve turtlenecks with minis in a palatte that graduated from
metallic gold to magenta. But it was the bold patterned hoisery that
took the look over the top for Project Runway's Tim Gunn, who was in
the front row. In classicly eloquent Gunn-speak, he told me, "The
graphic hoisery gives it a punch. It was totally unexpected. I loved
it. To be blunt, I'm ecstatic."
