Fashion Trends

Designer Tomas Maier is a true artist at heart and generally a very observant person. When in Florida he once saw a group of children practicing karate, he was immediately inspired by their sporty kimonos.
According to the designer, in the spring-summer collection of ready-to-wear in 2010 from Bottega Veneta, shown at the Milan Fashion Week, he decided to use a karate style kimono for the principle of “blank canvas”.

“Clothes should be a neutral backdrop for women, a blank canvas on which she can create her own image, playing with accessories and flowers – said the designer. – This is what I especially liked in the kimono for karate”.
The result of observations and reflections of Thomas Mayer became genuine, calm and serene collection of women clothing, really giving the ladies chance to express themselves.
Neutral colors, minimalism of dresses and suits, as well as some sports-style raid absolutely do not interfere with new models from Bottega Veneta to look very stylish and sometimes even glamorous.
The collection also includes tunics, shorts, corset top and a mini-suit. Ribbed texture of fabrics of some cloth reminds sports jacket, and generally the cut of the collection characterizes asymmetry.

In such a unique style are mature, mostly, everyday models, made in soft neutral tones. As it was promised by couturier, these outfits liven up colored borders and inserts, as well as scarves, shoes and handbags of various designs and bright colors.
In contrast to these models, cocktail and evening dresses from this collection flaunt the most pompous and neon colors. In fact here all is pretty strict – no complicated prints, and cut without any shenanigan.
Spring-summer collection was complemented by woven cloth sandals and shoes with open heel and mesh inserts. Accessories were diverse – for example, there were a variety of bags: from small clutches – up to dimensional soft “bags”, from leather – to wicker, including the ones with the effect of macramé.
