NYFW: Carlos Miele Spring 2012

By: Tiffany Olson

Carlos Miele kicked up the sizzle factor with his spring collection of hot dresses and coverups.

These models looked like they might have just came from lounging by in the pool on an exotic vacation, as they all had slicked back wet hair! And tans.

5 Thoughts about this show:

1. I love that the hair isn't "trying to hard."

2. I love the cinched waists: so flattering but hard to find in formal full length gowns.

3. Kate Middleton would totally approve of the deep "V" necks.

4. One shoulder gowns are here to stay. Yess!!!

5. I need to go somewhere tropical...

Happy weekend dolls!

NYFW FAVE: Carlos Miele Fall 2011

By Tiffany Olson

We can sum up Carlos Miele's Fall 2011 collection in 2 words: luxurious and glamorous.  (And when we say glamorous, we don't mean that song "G-L-A-M-O-R-OUS", we mean luxe, elaborate, possibly dripping in diamonds, glamorous.)  

The show featured draping fabrics, pops of color, and lush fabrics in rich textures.  Braiding, ruching, intricate beading... it was all in this collection.  These are the kind of dresses that make a woman float, no matter how graceful she actually is.  Feminine yet vibrant looks tend to be the mainstay for most Carlos Miele collections - a combination we have to agree is brilliant.  Clean, simple hair and makeup gave the clothes the center stage.   

Our favorite looks were actually the jumpsuits.  We can see Olivia Palermo running around NYC in the one of these jumpsuits with the head scarf to match.
