I found this link on the NYT website about the Wayne show last night. Wayne's collection sells at barneys, she's an acquaintance of mine and a great girl!

I had to investigate... I found a brief video of their Feb 08 presentation here, video courtesy of Coutorture and Team Sugar.

And this blog blurb:

WAYNE SHOW By LISA MARSH February 1, 2008 — Air and lightness.

Inspired by the feeling of flying, the Wayne collection for fall is a study in body-skimming pieces. This Ecco Domani award winner cites aviatrix Beryl Markham as a touch stone for the collection, and there's no mistaking the flight cues like a flight suit (aka jumpsuit), aviator jackets and aviator pants.

Dresses are long, spare and body skimming. The best of the lot was a perfectly ruched silk jersey tank dress. While most of the silk chiffon numbers looked good and fit well, some of the not so well executed hems made the dresses seem amateurish. The most expert pieces were the coats - a trench, a herringbone overcoat and a military long coat - tailored and executed perfectly.

And here is the link to their website. F/W 2008 is not posted there quite yet.
