For brands like Fendi, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta that are better known for their handbags and accessories than they are for their apparel, it’s no easy feat to make a statement with their fashion collections.
By staying true to the pulled-together, refined aesthetic that Bottega Veneta has long been known for, and highlighting artisanal craftsmanship Maier has been able to elevate Bottega Veneta fashion in new and exciting ways. I was able to see this firsthand at a recent showroom visit – the many layers that go into creating these outwardly simple-looking garments is truly remarkable.
The collection featured a nice mix of dressy cocktail dresses, many of which were belted at the waist, casual day wear with crisp white blouses, wetsuit-inspired tops with undulating color blocking, and in a nod to the return of the one-piece, some sexy swimsuits. No matter the silhouette, however, there was an ease to the collection that made it suitable for resort.
