Brazilian flavor and the desire to beyond please his audience was in Carlos Miele’s favor this morning. Inspired by the culture of Southern Brazil and more specifically Rio Grande do Sul, each look came complete with actual gaucha hats to emphasize that eternal value that comes with tradition.

This sentiment is important to a brand now days where understated luxury and brand identity is what makes customers return now days and for Miele there will be lots to buy starting with wool and fox fur ponchos easy and casual, but lavish and paired beautifully with grommet detailed pants. The run of sand colored gowns with gold lame underlay were each a vision and by the time color came into play we were treated to geometric printed dresses with pleated detailing and or long chiffon trains. Bolero jackets were a fun way to individualize each gown. The accessories are where the gaucha theme played heavier with tiras on open toed booties and adorning grommeted belts.
