Statements
Rufus Wainwright was on one side of the aisle; Kristen Bell, Minka Kelly, and Mischa Barton on the other. But once the lights went down and the bass kicked in, all eyes were on Sasha, Jessica, and Karlie stomping down the catwalk in one street-sweet getup after another. Skinny acid-wash jeans, patterned tights, graphic tops ("Do you like what you see?" one coyly asked), and shiny, shiny jumpsuits rounded out the denim label's Fall offering. This parade was inspired, according to the liner notes, "by the strength, vitality, and optimism" of the eighties—three things we could all use a lot of.

A hodgepodge of references popped up in Miss Sixty's exuberant collection—a seventies flower child in a shoulder-exposing silk-voile top, for instance, trading places with a sexy schoolgirl in a crocheted beret and striped kneesocks. But who needs a believable narrative when the story is fun and the front-row characters include Blake Lively, Rosario Dawson, and Becki Newton?Realism is not what the customer craves—see the success ofGossip Girlfor proof—and it has never been first and foremost on the minds of those who create this denim label. The best thing to do with these graphic tees, halter jumpsuits, and tiny rompers is to embrace the kitsch.
