Trying to find fault with a Bottega Veneta collection is like trying to find meaning in a Christian Slater movie… (OK, I have Clueless on my mind right now…sorry!) I pretty much love everything that Tomas Maier does, he seems to have captured the mood of the moment. His collections have the perfect balance of minimalism and detail, looks fabulously luxurious but effortless at the same time, and are completely wearable. I think my ideal wardrobe would be full of Bottega Veneta, with bits of COS and Uniqlo as filler. This resort collection looks like what Jil Sander would wear on holiday.
I Love…
that Bottega Veneta can make black tailoring look resort.
a simple capped-sleeve tee.
how a white shirt, black skirt, and black runners can look easy and fashionable.
a conservative resort dress. This would work on a 20 year old, or a 60 year old.
how Tomas Maier can take simple shapes and turn them into something interesting, without losing the simplicity.
a great one-piece.
klein blue.
I Loathe…
the cut-out shape of this top. It is a little bit off, and makes her bust look weird. But I love the skirt and its giant pockets.
this leotard (or whatever it is.)
