Haute Event: Tracy Reese Celebrates Five Years Of Her Flagship Store
by Wael Alexander Davis
I attended the Tracy Reese fifth-year anniversary of her flagship store in New York on June 8 with Tika Sumpter, JoAnna Garcia-Swisher, Veronica Webb, June Ambrose, Thelma Golden, Kate Betts, Tinsley Mortimer, Dabney Mercer, Anna Sui, Gerard Yosca, Steven Kolb, Tonya Lewis Lee, Mally Roncal and more. Guests enjoyed music, cocktails and shopping, and a portion of the night’s sales benefited the New York City Aids Fund.
Additionally, Tracy wanted her fans and supporters to join in on the celebration with exciting in-store events to thank customers for their support throughout the month of June. Tracy will host two consumer “Thursdays at Five” parties taking place on June 16 and June 23 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. to commemorate the 5th anniversary. Each event will include exclusive trunk shows, flash sales and will incorporate some of Tracy’s favorite things: accessories, all things beauty (specifically nails and makeup) and shopping, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the New York City AIDSFund.

I even got a chance to interview the fabulous Tika Sumpter which you can check out here!
