Tailored polka dot printed pants dominated the Bottega Veneta show for the first ten looks or so. Paired with lurex dot sweaters and silk shiny blouses they immediately brought up a sixties and seventies vibe. Midi lengths paired with knee high boots and mod coats added to that effect. As did color clashing looks in shades of both orange and purple. As well as geometric patterned cocktail dresses, several full on lace numbers and polka dots suits. Models with come as you are hair surely looked original in Thomas Maier’s risk taking ensembles. Yet all together it might not be the prettiest Veneta collection. But presenting a hit collection clearly wasn’t Maier’s goal. His risk taking collection was meant to shake things up a bit in order to move on. Mission accomplished.
