Fashion Week Spring 2009

This season, the Carlos Miele woman is a natural one, with sun-dappled prints adding depth to layered chiffon. The Brazilian designer paired floaty halters with cigarette pants and turned out light-as-air gowns trimmed with blush-hued ribbon. Cropped vests and military buttons gave masculine punch to the otherwise ultra-feminine designs.
