Brazilian Beat at Carlos Miele

Carlos Miele Spring 2009 Collection Show in the Promenade at Bryant ParkIn the Promenade at Bryant Park, during the Carlos Miele Spring 2009 Collection show, the girls look gorgeous, happy, perfect. With shining hair and smiling eyes, they were serenaded by Brazilian singer Seu Jorge (who has an amazing voice, made the girls laugh, and brought a joyfulness to an otherwise dreary fashion week).

Miele describes the collection as a dance between nature and the female body. His love for architecture, art, music as well as his core influences such as Brazilian landscape artist Roberto Burle Marx, led him to design his island hideaway in Florianopolis, a simple shaped house that blends into the landscape - which coincidentally served as inspiration for his spring 2009 collection.

Unfortunately you can’t really see any of the dresses in my photographs (perhaps I should invest in a real camera instead of just relying on my iPhone), so you either have to trust me when I tell you that they were stunning, or you’ll have to go to style.com and look at the collection yourself. Anyway, click below for my not-so-hot images and more info on this show…

P.S. I finally saw Karlie Kloss walk in a show - haunting yet stunning. Also fell in love with models Sheila Marquez, Eniko Mihalik, Kamila Filipcikova. OH - and the big sparkly cuffs by Juliana Scarpa were simply fabulous and definitely worth looking into.
