Bottega Veneta | Menswear Fall 2011





















The director designer for Bottega Veneta Tomas Maier presented very impressive stylish menswear collection for Fall 2011.
Amazing dark wool suits, the fabric textured, distressed-looking, the jacket lapels turned up and doubled by the addition of a lapel scarf; trousers tucked loosely into ankle boots; nice shirts. The first impression was raw. One jacket zipped open across a horizontal center seam, coming apart. Then the shots of Technicolor: eye-popping orange-red or gemstone green cords, a bright blue duffel, a trench in that red shade.

Maier accepts that the fundamentals of men's fashion don't change that much. "To evolve, you have to reinvent what you already have," he says. One way he does that is by injecting character into his clothes. His men somehow seem like archetypes, never more so than the leather-clad guys who strode down his catwalk today. A washed-leather trench even had a sinister edge. So did an evening jacket in inky velvet. That's Maier's almost cinematic power of suggestion.
Here I picked my favourite clothes from Bottega’s latest collection!
