New York Fashion Week: Carlos Miele storms the runway

Brazilian designer Carlos Miele debuted his Fall Collection at New York Fashion Week to rave reviews.Miele, whose work is often compared to Diane von Furstenberg, unveiled a traditional Brazilian collection inspired by artisan techniques like patchwork, stitching, crochet, and leatherwork. Describing his collection, the designer said, It is a very rich collection. That is why I am doing the hair and make-up very clean, as it is pretty much about the collection, the clothes, because of a lot of details. I mix a lot of materials, over layers. The collection inspired with rush constructiv-ism, and how this movement is reflected in Brazilian architecture, painters - and brought this to what my work is now. We have beautiful colors, geometrical abstraction and prints and very architecture forms. The red-carpet-ready looks had bold color combinations, clingy silhouettes and plunging necklines.
