Milan fashion week
Bottega Veneta, Spring/Summer ’08 (scroll down to read the review)
Bottega Veneta
Programme notes for the show refer to order and disorder and control and chaos. Actually there is no disorder or chaos at Bottega Veneta, nothing could escape the exacting standards of Tomas Maier. Contrasts exist for sure, like those between the spare clothing and the rich, almost baroque bags with their swirling patterns, crafted by the brands skilled artisans in the Veneto.
Perhaps what Maier meant were the dresses, chic as can be, cut in laundered nut-coloured double linen, an unexpected fabric choice for such a smart dress (time to throw away your preconceptions about linen). Or in the marble coloured shirtdress, or rock coloured silk crepe sundress, both constructed with what looked like randomly spaced pleats controlled by a belt.
Details such as pleats, folds and tucks were engineered to create shape at the waist, at the shoulder and on the (short) sleeves. All were highly visible forms of embellishment, often looking randomly placed, but in fact far from it.
