She started a couple different fashion labels, including Plenty and Frock, at a more affordable price range. Her clothing is carried by many department stores and most of her clothes are manufactured in the US. For the complete Tracy Reese experience, se owns 2 stores that sell her collections: one in NYC and the other in Tokyo. Her dresses are adored by many celebrities including Michelle Obama, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce. Her design vision that she continues to strive for is:
"We love pretty, we like beautiful, flattering, color! That’s what people come here for. There was a moment when big stores weren’t into that but our customer always was, and she was coming here."
