Bottega Veneta.... Best of Milan?
I really thought Bottega Veneta was the best show in Milan. The use of color (both bold and neutral), the prints and the surface textures were superb.
There are very few shows I see that (at some point) stop being a show, and start being a personal shopping preview.

post a commentDear The Sartorialist,
Your blog inspires me. I am an avid reader because I love fashion. Thanks for being so darn amazing.
Love,

greta great great!
love Bottega Veneta
X
=D
I'm in love... How beautiful!!
I think the red/pink combonation is great.
Bottega Veneta, just great!
In red suit, Morrissey's hair and NHS specs 1983
I love the hues in the first image... scarlets... cranberries... plums... corals... in love <3
If I could find a young man that dressed so proper and stylish...! Yet to find one.
Also gushing over the blue python hold-all in the image <3

ermmm, i like their ears and their hair...I can't really get that into clothes that are just being modelled or shown rather than actually being worn.
There is so much to love about Bottega Veneta's show...the beautiful colours, impeccable tailoring that always exudes effortless elegance, love the rumpled 'worn in look' too, so inviting!
xx
The clothes were pretty awesome!
yes, that saturated colour section was trememndous!
Beautiful shots and clothes, but what is with the short pants?
A really beautiful collection
Unbelievable colors!First picture is absolutely spectacular. Thank you.
I totally feel you on this one!
Check out the looks I loved on my blog:
http://mbbymnm.blogspot.com
Wow. I always think the Bottega shows both the men's and women's are some of the best of the season - any season. Tomas Maier is a design master. We are lucky to have him and we are lucky to have you to present the work in such a clear way. I think just these 2 images you present say so much about how men can dress in a modern, sexy way. I love it!
Like Soren, I love to see clothes worn on the street. It will be interesting to see how some of these pieces look when they appear in NY and Paris and (?) Stockholm. M. Sart, good luck finding them for us!That's what keeps me looking at this blog on a daily basis. Loved that off-white dress in Paris the other day!!
Love the red.
i think the inspiration for the hair came from robert pattinson! lol...jk.
I agree, I think Bottega Veneta was one of the best. The colors and patterns are amazing like similar designers who caught my eye like Etro, Comme Des Garcons and Dries van Noten.
http://wordvomittt.blogspot.com
just how do you take such amazingly clear shots under those lighting? i tried but failed terribly.
and wanted to drop a note to say hi, i met you outside the versace show, and asked if you're coming to london for the book launch.
love your blog!
I love the nearly monochromatic red looks in the first pic. Vaguely Mephistophelean...
The devil wears Bottega Veneta.
are there any more pictures from the bottega veneta show? great work.
Love both extremes, the bold deep, saturated colour and the neutrals, with subtle layering of tone, pattern and texture. Indeed, this collection seems very wearable. I love it...a lot.
Everyone should wear such vivid colors!
I am in love with everything in these two pics.
The red and magenta is to die for. I hope this does not come across as politically incorrect or insensitive, BUT I hope bright colors are accepted by guys, no matter what their orientation. It's across the board sexy!
The peaked shoulder pads on the red jacket is sweet!
The earth tones in the second pic are fabulous too. The print jacket I hope starts a trend. The cut and texture of the suit in the back is hot -- in a good way!
L-O-V-E the color, but I think the murse is a little freaky!
the hair is very robert pattison-esque.
The hair is perfect perfect perfect. Retro and modern.
OMG!!!! these guys are BEAUTIFUL!!! i love these shots :)
perfect colors.
www.closetremedy.blogspot.com
the hermes show was very very strong.
Fabulous!!!!! I love all the colors, the hair!!!!!!! amazing, Bottega Veneta is the best!!!!!
man in red = morrissey.
Bottega Veneta was definetly the best. Those bomber length fatigue jackets were killin me!!
As an avid photographer and model, also fashionisto, I love your blog. And I have to say Bottega Veneta was the best I saw of Spring 2010. The muted tones accented with that splash of color from a scarf or accessory, leading into the beautiful rich red tones; not to leave out the freshness of the models and the throw back to early 90's River Phoenix'esk hair; the entire collection was sophisticated but simple and held it's own. 100% agree. Moschino was a close second, and Roberto Cavalli was also exciting.
Thank you for the great post and fashion.
Yeah, if you can get over the disastrous hair, then you see the clothes are really on point. Superb. Loving the strong shoulders and nonchalant glamour in that geranium suit.
That hair is coming in strong, I sees it everywhere!
Agreed.
Is it Morrisey or Kramer?
I really like the second picture that shows the more neutral colors. I really love the green and I especially like the suit in the back!
Love that hair and the RED & PINK style
kiss kiss
Yes, yes, I love these!
I just love those reds.They are so beautiful. Men, wear red!
Ruhvana
Best shoulders this season.

I agree that Botega along with Gucci & Versace were the best shows in Milan, the others weren't as good (they had only 1 or 2 good pieces. Great photos as always!
I agree, the colours are really great. I love your blog, it's always very interesting!
-Yi
You are right, Bottega Veneta was one of the best shows. I personnally liked also very much ZZegna, as it was at the same time luxury and daring, and a very strong statement for the brand. What did you think?
Very good. I don't often wear red (not nearly enough), but I could wear those.
But those lower pants have wrinkles in them. Surely that isn't intentional? Very slack.
If I was a guy I would wear this
Red jacket.......je trouve ca vraiment chic
par contre everything in red
it's a bit too much no?
I'm a huge fan of your blog. Especially of how you capture people's fashion in their everyday lives.
that suit worn by the 3rd model in the 2nd picture is amazing.
i just put fuchsia and red bedsheets on my bed, i really like the combination, in clothes too!
love bottega and your blog.
keep up the great work!!!
the best men's collection this year..
more than GORGEOUS and MAGNIFICENT!
I love them, cute guys well-dressed
OH, I really feel something special with the right shades of pink and red togheter! Nice:)
The 2nd look in the 1st picture is amazing! I sometimes wish Iwas a man. :P
I love the red and pink together..and the textured jacket with the floral print in the last pic is divine.

Tomas Maier is a great designer for women and for men.
I couldn't agree more ♥
Face it...it's all been done before.
Very nice colors and cut, especially the 3 man red/pink pix...
I'd like to see more if possible???

Is the green jacket in the second photo the same as worn by Ryan Reynolds in the film "The Proposal?" k8b8
I'm really digging this show as well. I think you are right.
LIKE IT !
I think Bottega and Junya Watanabe tied for first...
Absolutely loving that combination in the foreground of the first picture.
all morrissey. ha ha ha.brilliant.
Men in red - we can only hope, here in America.
Men in rumpled clothes - what's new about that?
Tomas Maier is incredible! With the exception of last summer (I think it was, when he had those quite awful baggy pants that looked a little like overalls), he brings it home season after season! This season was no exception; my favourite men's designer working right now and has been for many years.
Energie
great! i love bottega veneta (and the sartorialist :P)
kisses!
Bottega just gets better and better. Tomas Maier is amazing.
I agree 100%. Best show in Milan.
In 1 word: awesome.
Loved almost every outfit of this collection, the earth hues, prints and patterns.
Agreed with Energie, the SS09 collection was a complete failure, I ended detesting all those baggy pants.
Check out more looks:
http://stripesandsquares.blogspot.com
Oh, YES, yesy, yes... a thousand times yes! Tomas Maier nearly systmeatically manages to come up with quietly but surely luxurious collections for both men and women.
I'm totally crazy about his understated take on casual glamour!
these knittered pants are gorgeous.
I want all men with such long and skinny legs to wear them.
I was so surprised to find adoration for this most disappointing Maier show in years. Sorry to say, but it looks like deparment store, not design. Take a good look at that plain suit and baggy sweaters, not to mention the Abercrombie inspired cadet with the blue purse.
I've got multiple BV wide-legged pants from prior seasons - they look sensational and leave no doubt that I didn't buy them at a mass merchandizing outlet where I can find lots of baggy sweaters and tight profile pants, but from gifted, inspired designer.
too right, a personal shopping preview - how divine. love the hair, very robert pattinson, yes? H.
bottega, then hermes, then vuitton for sheer desire/wearability.
yasuhiro, owens, julius for sheer desire/internal conflict.
the eye needs to be pleased, then trained.
FINALLY! color
Love the red. Love the hair. Love the no-socks. Love the shoes. Love, love, love.
1st male model in first photo + 3rd male model in 2nd photo + villa in martinique + me = the perfect holiday
love also the hair style! let's rock guys!
thats gorgeous. love it.

oh hey there morrissey
Cher Sartorialist,
J'adore Bottega Veneta et j'aime votre blog beaucoup trop. Je me sens folle, car je me trouve les yeux collées à l'écran!
on the bottom picture the back model with the suit, i love that the buttons and button holes continue up on either side of the lapels. the use of a pocket square in the bottom pocket is something i like and haven't seen. the pattern of the suit is also fantastic.
