Fab Ad: Carlos Miele Spring '09

Carlos Miele loves his homeland Brazil so much — can you blame him?

Carlos Miele loves his homeland Brazil so much — can you blame him? — he took his Spring '09 ad campaign, shot by Michael Roberts, on location there. Ipanema Beach and the Dois Irmãos Mountain in Rio de Janeiro served as the most exotic backdrop to the vibrant, silky gowns. "I was inspired by the dance between the woman’s body and Rio’s nature," the designer said. The models Miele chose to capture the essence of Brazil are natives Aline Webber and Emanuela de Paula. The contrast between their skin and hair makes for a magical partnership. And the ethereal dresses? I can't stop drooling. Cue the bossa nova music and it's golden.

Shoes

Carlos Miele and Jeff Miller for Baleri Italia

Stuffing intricately designed and extremely expensive footwear into a tiny box of a closet has always felt like a crime to us.

Jeff Miller for Balerie ItaliaStuffing intricately designed and extremely expensive footwear into a tiny box of a closet has always felt like a crime to us. Apparently Carlos Miele and Jeff Miller feel the same way, along with quite a crowd of well wishers, shoppers, and design fans

Miele's 14th street boutique hosted Jeff Miller's newest design work for Baleri Italia. The sleek rounded and stackable boxes made for perfect shoe display and storage. They beautifully integrated into Miele's current retail aesthetic thanks to their curving comfortable lines. And they made us pay a lot more attention to the shoes which is good for everyone!
