TRACY PHILLIPS CEO, TNSTYLE, LLC
Tracy Phillips’ fashion career started at Saks Fifth Avenue in Palm Beach where she merchandised
designer collections, worked with elite clientele, and had the honor of working with several renowned
designers. It was not long before Tracy set her sights on launching a fashion line of her own.
In 2009, while in her 20’s, Tracy considered herself blessed to have the opportunity to launch the
TRACY NEGOSHIAN (TN) brand. TN is a multi-line, multi-season clothing label that is trendy, using high
quality material, and most importantly affordable to today’s fashion-conscious woman. Tracy believes
the right clothing can make you not only look good, but feel confident.
Over the years, Tracy’s team built great relationships with fabulous retailers nationwide. These specialty
boutiques helped launch the TN brand into the marketplace fast and fiercely. In addition to a growing
retail business, TN opened two Florida flagship stores, one located in the heart of Naples on 5th Avenue,
and the second in Sarasota’s popular St. Armand’s Circle.
Today, a decade after launching, the TN brand is thriving and infusing color and confidence into women’s
wardrobes nationwide!
