Designer Flashback: Tracy Reese

Tracy Reese: From Preppy to Presidential(Source: Imax Tree)Following a stint as design director for Perry Ellis, Detroit native Tracy Reese launched her eponymous line in 1996. Since then, she has earned her fair share of devotees—including First Lady Michelle Obama—thanks to the line's mainstay: feminine designs that flatter, rather than reveal, a woman's body. You won't find bandage dresses on a Tracy Reese runway, but you are liable to come across waist-cinching frocks, gorgeous color and print combinations, and well-tailored separates you could actually wear seven days a week. Some might call it a touch conservative, others realistic, fun and flirty. Either way, Reese's woman is a modern one who knows how to dress. Here, a few of our favorite looks from the past five seasons:
