INNER REESE
From the runway, Tracy Reese's Fall '07 line looked phenomenal -- the models coolly jaunting in her chocolate, pomegranate and blueberry ensembles, flashes from the camera pit highlighting the mix of sheer shifts, patent leather accents, and boiled wool. But backstage it looked even better as the designer's vision came together.

FLOWER POWER
Dresser Lady Soule buttoned model Sigail up in Reese's full-sleeved floral dress which she modeled minutes later with a skinny brown bow belt. Reese also designed the flower patch tee on the dressform behind them for show sponsor, American Legacy Foundation an organization committed to smoker-free fashion.
KEEPING IT TIGHTS
Models Dovile Virsilaite (l) and Maria Dvirnik struck pre-show poses in Reese's rain cloud-colored skirt with rouched-sleeve tee, and jacquard coat with smock and shorts -- the latter look we would have preferred with a fitted top. The striped and dotted tights by Reese for HUE were a nice touch of whimsy for fall's depressing cold-weather months.
TRACY'S LITTLE BABOUSHKA
Several looks came down the catwalk with these headscarves better left on granny -- adding unnecessary weight and age to Reese's modern take on mod.
ALL ON BOARD
The look board stationed just behind the entrance to the runway featured all 39 looks that Reese showed.
MAKING FACES
Makeup artist Mally Roncal demonstrated the "matte with luminosity" look the models wore for E!s reporter. She later told Stylelist she and Reese had several pow-wows before deciding "an enhanced natural look" -- lightly penciled-in brows, pale lid shimmer, and a "mauvey orchid" lipcolor -- best complemented the collection.
CLASSIC REESES
