Through his friendship with Brazilian top musician of all time, Tom Jobim, the great relationship had resulted a song that the world will never forget as time passes by - The Girl from Ipanema.
Charmed by this historic encounter, Brazilian designer Carlos Miele who is famous for his theatrical ready-to-wear designs created a collection that follows the fluid flow of Bossa Nova rhythm for his current spring/summer 2008 ready-to-wear collection.
The presentation was staged to the sophisticated global fashion crowd under the infamous tents of Bryant Park at last year's New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2007.

The result is a collection of fluid gowns, elegant ensembles of meticulously-done tops and bottoms starting with shiny satin sleeveless top with gathered bust and matching ruched mini skirt in banana green, sheer cowl top matched with exquisite floor-sweeping shiny crepe satin mermaid gown, one shouldered one-piece swimwear in shiny swirl prints, to one shoulder printed chiffon top with side-embellished tailored pants.
Swathe of fluid chiffons aside, Miele incorporates his trademark theatrical and opulence approach in his stunning evening wears collection with hems scrunched to perfection creating a unique texture on the dress, oversized ruffles on sweeping hems blooming like an open flower, extensive gowns in shiny satin, jewel-embellished necklines, and intricate sequin detailing that expresses ultimate style and wealth.

Last but not least, for a dose of simplicity in daywear closet, off-shoulder top adorned with Renaissance-influenced print with embellished wide neck matched with relaxed long pants make my top three favorite picks.
Carlos Miele's spring/summer 2008 ready-to-wear collection is available now at Carlos Miele flagships in New York and Paris as well as select retailers around the globe.
