Bottega Veneta

Tomas Maier's latest collection for Bottega Veneta was a lesson in easy, chic dressing. The girls came out, hair wet, in clothes that seemed quite simple, but given the quiet details, the work itself was quite complicated. Maier experimented a great deal with different materials, especially in the beginning of the show, with black looks featuring mesh, leather, and fabric all at once. The loose leather pants (on Caroline Brasch Neilsen and Shu Pei Qin) and Jesus sandals would be welcome additions to my closet. The color pallete was strictly neutral save for a single baby blue feathered dress (not featured), giving the collection a kind of season-less quality. The details—including crinkling on pants and embroidered down feathers—were subtle, but made the collection. With this collection, Maier made a powerful statement about workmanship and wearable clothing that did not disappoint.
