Bottega Veneta AW17

After a 12 month hiatus I am back and I have looked to the runway of Milan for my first post of 2017.

Tomas Maier paid homage to the 40s (whether intended or not!) in his latest collection.In ultra contrast to his SS17 collection of luxury sportswear,bold macs and modern glamour, AW17 consisted of belted dresses and jumpsuits and the shoulder proved to be a major focus “..is like it has been drawn, starting from a precise shoulder line, as if you can see the pencil mark on a sketch” Maier

 

The collection had an overall vintage feel with Sarah Mower of Vogue stating ” All in all, it was the kind of collection that would of kept Helmut Newton very happy in his heyday of shooting Yves Saint Laurent in Paris Vogue”

While the menswear seemed slightly our of sync with the rest of the collection, it nonetheless possessed a similar polished, glamour with the male models donning various tuxedos, tailored trenches and sleek accessories.
