Miss Sixty took a bashing in a few reviews for the acid wash (not our fave either) but their use of faux fur and Liechtenstein bits are another fun item for Fall.

This is the way to do fancy schmancy, but why such extreme pouts? It almost draws your eye to the models’ expressions rather than the detail in the gowns.

Anna Sui always gets it right. Another one of our faves.

 

Proenza Schouler showed a lot of dresses, but we personally preferred the close fitting top/bottoms. Definitely a stronger look in our opinion.
