The Badgley Mischka boys delivered a mixed fashion message Tuesday morning, showing their three retail lines, intertwined, on one runway: couture (high end), collection (expensive but not mortgage-like) and casual (this the more contemporary and less-expensive Mark + James brand).

Fear not, they still provided their trademark glam – lots of ethereal numbers, some with girlie tiered sleeves, others emblazoned with crystals. Truthfully, though, floppy hats and a more relaxed aura read more retro-hippie girl chic than red carpet..

And, to this end, along came the white denim shorts (yup, we said white – denim – shorts) paired with a ribbed tank and topped by what looked like a chiffon poncho. Dare we say cute (and kinda sexy)?
