Carlos Miele’s Spring 2010 collection featured his usual goddess gowns, but stood apart with a series of separates that are much more accessible for those of us who don’t spend evenings being photographed on red carpets.


Most of the outfits were quite wearable. The structured boleros, the blouses, the tulip skirts and the pleated pants were all pieces that will most definitely grace the workplace next Spring. The only exception was the too short shorts. Again, we’re seeing short suits for Spring 2010 work-wear. But the length of these hemlines makes them hardly appropriate. Perhaps for resort wear, but not for the typical office.

What can we take away?

Tulip skirts, pleated pants and bold shoulders will all be around for at least another season. Sheer, flowing fabrics paired with very tailored separates mix the sporty and feminine styles that are defining Spring 2010.

What do you think?

I’m a huge fan of the sheer tops paired with the tight, tailored shorts and skirts. But, I don’t think those looks are very practical for most occasions. As always, Carlos Miele’s red carpet worthy dresses are beautiful, goddess-like and ultra feminine. I love it!
