When some like it hot, some fall in love with Carlos Miele. The Brazilian designer’s \u201cImmersive Landscape\u201d collection was on fire, sending the runway temperatures to dangerous levels.\u00a0With a cue of the music, the audience was instantly transported to hotter and chicer climates, where, say, wearing white swimsuits never abides by post-Labor Day standards, and cocktails are always served with a side of leg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Opening looks cascaded down the runway in a flow of tropical color, trains of sheer chiffon following in their wake. Swimsuits, cover-ups, and silk chiffon caftans slinked the path to a Brazilian beat, creating a visual climate; ocean waves crested into a strapless silk gown while the Sao Paulo sun melted into a one-shouldered dress. The designer’s Brazilian cultural ties were beautifully apparent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For events requiring a less swim and more formal look, consider one of the silk gowns in a myriad of tropical hues and prints. Interspersed between undulations of chiffon were a vivid tangerine pantsuit and a color-blocked draped white skirt with turquoise top, cinched at the waist with a gold belt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All was an exercise in Miele staying close to his signature design roots. His affinity for moulage and fuxico techniques was evident in several beautifully rendered pieces; a plunging neckline gown exhibited both trades in a bevy of oceanic hues. A noteworthy vision in electric blue featured fold-over pleating and a braid snaking up the front and coiling around the shoulder.<\/p>\n

Models sported slicked back hair, suggesting their runway commitments had interrupted an afternoon in an infinity pool, emerging only to return to a getaway for which their ensembles had best prepared them.<\/p>\n

Warning: all of the looks were in heavy flirtation. View with caution.<\/p>\n
