Something was afoot at the Brian Reyes’ 2009 Fall Show at Bryant Park during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.   Rachel Bilson and Ivanka Trump watched a number of models gracefully bite the dust on the runway.  Hiccups aside, the show was a soothing flow of up-swept mystery girls with a bohemian flair.   The collection showed an unusual but totally apropos hybrid of organic ease and uptown sophistication.  The palette was neutral give or take a blue, light green or a berry shade.  Fabrics were textural in dimension or optic depth using batik, satin and beading.

The extent to which the models lost shoes was so extreme that one might have thought it was purposeful and what a joy if it had been!  Theater on the runway indeed.  In the last round, models did without heels in what must have been a spontaneous decision that came off as a celebratory gesture.  See it all here.
