Milan '07 S/S - Bottega Veneta
Ah the house of Bottega Veneta. I've pretty much been in love with everything coming out from them this season and last. There's minimalism but the execution is different. You see, experimentation doesn't have to mean wild and crazy. Men's clothing shifts slowly, so if you wanna change something or try something new in menswear, you've got to do it subtly.
Veneta shows us how. For Spring, its all about whites and washed out colors. Textures are crinkly and it's really hard to make tailored linen look good, but it works here. Part of the reason why are the slight changes in shape to silhouettes otherwise considered mild and standard mill. Zippers are flipped, pockets are shifted, and cuts to change the way button enclosures look. All very subtle but just enough to make it look unique. I like it.
