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.

Rachel Bilson (left) came to The Whitney Contemporaries Art Party in New York last night, bandaged in a champagne halter mini-dress by Herve Leger. It’s possible we have never seen this much of Rachel in public before and while the amazing dress hugs every curve and bares a fair share, it is still a tasteful and classic choice. What else would we expect of a woman who has a strong track record for regret-less ensembles? Bilson gravitates towards clean lines and neutral colors and this dress is certainly in keeping with her taste.

Halter dresses are a staple of summer wear, but this minimalist, body hugging variety brings to mind the pared down, body-conscious dresses of the mid-1990’s. Sex kitten, Angie Dickinson poses in 1961’s hot halter number (right). Do you like the body bearing Bilson?

Wintour takes a chance with a metallic, floor length gown, embellished by structures that resemble Martian appendages. The gamble pays off as she appears inhumanly regal. Rachel Bilson, A diminutive young woman of only 5′1″ carries off a sleek, figure skimming, floor length gown. Her ensemble brings to mind the sexy, liquid black costume worn by any personification of Catwoman; from Julie Newmar to Michelle Pfeiffer.
