The Tamesis
On a Zoom call from freezing Detroit, Tracy Reese reiterated how she chose the name for her business: It was, she said, to “learn to be a good steward of the earth.” “It’s also about each of us—especially young people—and the seeds within us that are worth nurturing.” The collection’s roots in Michigan show that the designer thrives there.
Reese’s pre-fall collection was purpose-built, she explained, “for people who are having a great time in June.” Easy-to-wear silhouettes made from responsible materials, such as strapless dresses with puffed hems, or convertible dresses that can be worn with streamers hanging from the back or tied at the waist for a more fitted look, are repeated in different prints and fabrics. In keeping with the trends we’re tracking for Pre-Fall 2026, Reese is offering off-the-shoulder tops, cut-out English embroidery separates, and cape tops paired with miniskirts.
“I never want summer to end,” says Reese, whose striking “dreamy floral prints” capture the ease, freedom and spirit of the season.
