One of the best collections I've ever seen from Bottega Veneta. It was a celebration of color. The dead became alive. Tomas Maier delivered a strong collection influenced by the modern muses of Alfred Hitchcock. As each model paraded on the runway, the up do of the hair and the lady like clothes were reminiscent of the 60s. Even though he looked back in the past, Tomas put a spin in this collection. The choice of fabrics were surprising and led to pure experimentation. The house is always known for clean, polished, and sporty look. This time, he took a different turn by making it more vibrant. He gave his own definition of luxury. Embellished lace onto dresses were both real and virtual. He used a modern technique of spray painting to create the virtual aspect of the lace. Imagine lace in bold detail and suddenly it fades. Amazing.
In fashion school, you get an F for not finishing the hem of a garment. For Tomas, he used it as a detail for all the skirts, gowns, and dresses. It was cleverly done.
I am not a big fan of white stockings. Even if it is cashmere, I really don't care. If there will be revivals of the great director's films, these clothes would be perfect for it.
The modern feminine look is coming back. The strong and edginess of a woman is being kept in Pandora's box for now. Thank God that the 80s are back in the archives.
Time to celebrate the true beauty of being woman.
