Carlos Miele Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear

backstage after his show, Carlos Miele shared his vision of paradise, one in which there is "a perpetual sun" (insert global-warming joke here). As it turned out, Miele's utopia was plenty wet, too. A strong aquatic element was present from day to night: One of the caftans that opened the show—it was draped over a sleek white one-piece swimsuit—was printed with giant koi fish. On the finale gown, the fan detailing on the bodice made the model look as if she were emerging from a clamshell, Botticelli-style. Colors were vivid, fabrics slinky. One top looked like a deflated disco ball, almost ready to take a spin. Quieter pieces were scattered throughout, such as a long draped skirt that swooped up the center to reveal a flash of leg. For those who like it hot, there will be plenty here to choose from

Simple Dress From Erin Fetherston | yohana

Erin Fetherston Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear
If Erin Fetherston's third collection for her ERIN line were a film, in an ideal world it would be "like [Franco] Zeffirelli directing A Midsummer Night's Dream that stars Mia Farrow," she explained at her Milk Studios presentation this evening. Fetherston incorporated more daywear and separates this season, whipping up butterfly-print charmeuse shorts that were just as flirty as her signature feminine frocks, and a silk collared blouse with delicate lace overlay. A mod shift dress with a graphic floral print was dubbed the "Mia dress." Fetherston called another one of her favorites the "cha-cha dress, because you just want to do a little dance in it." The cha-cha dress has a tassel and beaded checkerboard pattern, and would look terrific on the designer herself. Fetherston is, after all, her own ideal customer—the Spring lookbook even features a model with a pixie cut that is part Farrow, part Erin.
