Carlos Miele Resort 2014

Daywear and separates were the focus of Carlos Miele's new Resort collection. The Brazilian designer, who is best known for his over-the-top eveningwear, restrained himself here and showed a lineup of more viable pieces, such as a sporty little white dress with a sheer mesh neckline and curved illusion seams that suggested the Girl from Ipanema at Wimbledon. Miele sprinkled of-the-moment details such as graphic cutouts, punky spiked hardware, and artisanal embellishments throughout the mix, and generally laid off his typical flashy prints. A sheer white button-up worn over a bandeau top and paired with coated-python trousers was a standout look, as was an embroidered miniskirt shown with a white T-shirt. He included several gowns that seemed sleeker and more pared-down than his usual fare.
