NYFW FAVE: Carlos Miele Fall 2011



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.
