Carlos Miele Fall / Winter 2012 centers around the women from Rio Grande do Sul and culture of Southern Brazil. His geometric prints are inspired by the patterns of traditional gaucho sashes and ponchos, while the organic print references the native feline, gato dos pampas. The rich natural landscape is seen through gold and natural tones.
The collection features sleek silhouettes that highlight the female form. Miele creates refined volumes and textures handicraft techniques such as woven tiras, metal embroidery and overlays of different fabrics.
I always find Carlos Miele's dresses to be sexy and carefree, while exuding a natural elegance in vibrant, eye-catching prints. My favorites included the silk charmeuse geometric print dress and gown in fuchsia and the pampa print silk chiffon gowns. The looks were paired with nude and black open toe booties with leather tiras and metal edged fringe.
Hair looks from this show, styled by Rodney Cutler for the Salon at Ulta Beauty, are my favorite of all the shows I've attended. The look is effortless and simple with natural waves and curls. The shiny and smooth, silky texture represents hair I would want everyday.
