Carlos Miele FW09 Collection


Sitting across from Hamish Bowles was fun enough, but when Carlos
Miele made good on his promise of a live performance by Brazilian
musician Max de Castro, everyone from the photo pit to the front row
was captivated.

Castro strutted up and down the runway amidst luxuriously dressed
models wearing impeccable eveningwear, suiting and furs in
refreshingly vibrant colors with details to spare. From accordian
pleating to military-inspired contrast braiding, Miele put out the
most consistently desirable collection I've seen this week.

I loved the lipstick reds, cadet blues and maroons, as well as the
tight mix of subdued suiting separates over sassy cocktail styles. The
standout piece for me was a pleated shrug in silver that would be the
perfect accent to any evening style.

Great show, great presentation and wonderful music concept!

No. The photo pin was booing and screaming at Max to stop ruining their shots, because they're animals who only think about their shot and their job, instead of the designer's vision.

I sometiems dig the sugar coat too, but not here. Be honest.
