· For Spring 2012, designer Tracy Reese is inspired by a land of pure delight. Softly voluminous styles pair with lean, refined silhouettes, evolving proportions with a focus on modern fluidity. A feminine yet relaxed mood is achieved through the juxtaposition of romance and sport, comfort and flattery. Subtle hues of khaki and blush mixed with pastel shades of waterfall, misty blue and aqua tears gradually intensify to deep saturated tones and neon brights, making a bold splash for the transition into summer.
Celebrities Expected: Ashley Tisdale, Katie Cassidy, Katie Lee, Louise Roe, Solange Knowles and Tika Sumpter

· Launched in Pre-Fall 2009 as a collection of iconic neckwear, the Timo Weiland brand expanded in Spring 2010 to include a signature range of clothing including knitwear and accessories, for men and women. Co-designed by Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein, the Timo Weiland collection provides a full wardrobe for men and women who appreciate the art of dressing. In July 2011 Timo Weiland was selected as an inductee to the 2012-2014 CFDA Fashion Incubator Program, an initiative to encourage emerging designers and their businesses. Spring 2012 marks the first season the designers are showing in a runway format after transitioning from presentations, which they’ve shown since their Fashion Week debut for Spring 2010. Their signature usage of pops of color, custom prints, and modern interpretations of classic silhouettes speak to their uptown meets downtown approach to design.
· In celebration of Timo Weiland’s footwear collaboration with Tsbuo that will make its runway debut at Lincoln Center, Tsubo and Samurai Sake will toast the night away with Timo and Alan following their show on the rooftop of The Gramercy Hotel. Guests will be treated to a live DJ set and bespoke cocktails provided by Samurai Sake.
