Bottega Veneta Resort 2009

[fierceboi]

Block
Party
For Tomas Maier, Bottega
Veneta’s resort collection is
about a state of mind, and a
bold one at that, as he sent
out a lineup of effortlessly
chic looks in saturated hues.
Here, a color-blocked jersey
top and leather skirt.

As fun as the first two looks are it seems like he's taking some creative liberties. The third look is divine.

i like the first look best , third look is good if the pants are longer and hitting the floor.

^ I like a shorter pant if the shoes are worth showing off, but I imagine these are challenging to wear. I want to see more ...

I love the idea of a cerise red leather skirt with a paperbag waist....but the execution kind of fell short.

The second colorblocked pleated dress is way too Marni looking and just isn't working for me. Maybe if it was two separate pieces-a top and a skirt-it could work, but as a dress I'm not a fan.

I love that floppy white jacket, there's so much potential to make amazing outfits with that.

Although this seems like an attempt to do something fresh, these few looks aren't convincing enough to really work. I would love to see the rest of it though.

I love the red skirt! Can't wait to see all of it.

[fashionista-ta]

^ You make some good points ... to me, the skirt comes off very Louis Vuitton (the tarty season). I'm puzzled by the dress ... he's so good at that stuff, but this doesn't seem to work. This seems like 'selections from the cutting room floor' ...

This doesn't seem very Bottega. It does not even appear remotely luxurious, which is, really, what Bottega is all about.

The last picture reminds of the Gap Ads, from the pose to the clothes.

stronger feeling of colour blocks when the blocks are pleated like that ..^^
has this sort of 3-dimensional structure

like the prada s/s 08 plaid
sort of optical illusions...

thanks for the notice, fierceboi !

[ultramarine]

Yum ... BV is still on a roll!

yay

[ANTONIOATAIDE]

the third design reminds me YSL for 2008, tough I like the other two. I see they're experimenting new interesting fabrics, and in the second one I appreciate the cutting

[*Happiness*]

I didn't expect this from BV....it seems very casual...even the colors...just doesn't give me the Bottega feel...

THIS IS MY FAVORITE RESORT YET!!! But then again i'm a sucker for bold color blocking and strict geometry. If only there were something with either fringe or that was completely beaded, I'll leave that up to Nikky Ghesquiere.
