Tracy Reese Spring collection took place on September 7, 2007. Her collection started out strong with huge hats, clutch bags, slouchy pants, and feminine silhouettes. Reese collection began with white and black and white pieces. Midway in she added some bold colors fuschia, pink, purple, and gold. She also had sequins dresses and tops.
In my opinion her collection was okay, I’ve seen better pieces from her but it was good overall.

Ralph Lauren collection took place on September 8,2007 under the Bryant Park tent. Ralph was celebrating his 40th Anniversary in the fashion industry. Lauren said, “I drew upon everything I ever loved, and that was it.”.
There were 2 major themes equestrian and western elegance. It felt like Charlie Chapman meets My Fair Lady. There were beautiful big church hats, top hats, adorable bags, big ruffled sleeves, pleats, and classy black silk gloves.
The collection began with black & white it was used in every way possible. Stripes, prints, floral, and polka dots. Toward the end of the collection there was a huge blast of color royal blue, green purple, and yellow. The popular fabrics were silk, cotton, chiffon, and organza.
In my opinion, Ralph Lauren is definitely at the top of his game! All I can say is WOW, WOW WOW!!! I love this collection from beginning to end I have nothing negative to say about it. This is so inspiring for me. The collection flowed beautifully and when you thought it couldn’t get better BOOM he hits you with color. And when the color slowly goes away he comes back with beautifully draped a silver and white dress that was breathe taking. I applaud Mr. Ralph Lauren on the best runway show thus far.

Catherine Malandrino runway show to place in NYC at La Colombre d’ Or which is one of Malandrino’s favorite hotels. She used a wonderful arrangement of organza was geometrically pleated or cut into trapunto scallops. Beading came in hefty grape clusters on necklines and sleeves. The popular fabric choice was cotton, silk, and organza. She had high-waisted skirts, puffed sleeves, and bubble hems. The draping was done beautifully on every garment that involved it. Malandrino used bright boastful colors for her evening gowns; teal, pink, and orange. It seems like a lot of designers are including their art desires through their clothing. Catherine had some pieces that seemed to be pulled directly from a painting.
In my opinion it was an extremely strong collection. Her collection was awesome the creativity was spilling off the runways. I absolutely adored the geometric shapes used in the fabric which is extremely difficult to accomplish. The colors just jumped of the runway. The painting like pieces were a little too much for me.
