Many of you expressed interest in the ensemble Minka Kelly wore while visiting fuse's The Sauce recently.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Brian Reyes

It's safe to say that Brian Reyes' recurring fashion week nightmares didn't come to fruition — in fact, his show proceeded quite smoothly.

It's safe to say that Brian Reyes' recurring fashion week nightmares didn't come to fruition — in fact, his show proceeded quite smoothly. Reyes, who started out under Oscar de la Renta's wing, is honing his name as designer to the sleek and chic.

Taffeta trenches, skirts, and dresses were patterned after Reyes' inspiration: the curving lines of topographical maps. Funky jewelry adorned necks, heads, and ears, and earth tones ruled the color scheme, aside from a cameo of fuchsia or cerulean.

The label's strength always lies in the dresses, and in this collection, there were plenty to choose from. That flaked silver metallic number? Definitely less like a nightmare, more like a dream.
