At Tracy Reese’s packed showed, models, in ribbed tights and huge chunky scarves, weren’t in a hurry -- they meandered down the runway at a snail’s pace showing off their mellow, easy-does-it cool chick duds.

The look was very good but unexpectedly hard-edged since Reese is better known for her girlie sweet stuff. A cardigan got its groove with fur sleeves, a distressed faux leather coat topped a pretty jade cami and wooly sweaters offered fringe benefits. Even the frothy stuff was toughened up: a pretty blue ensemble included a lacey skirt and a camisole, embellished with nail heads.
