Photography by Paolo SimiFashion / ShowBottega Veneta SS14Italian refinement in structural pleats, copper-threaded cotton and Japanese manipulationShareLink copied ✔️September 21, 2013FashionShowTextSusie LauPhotographyPaolo SimiBottega Veneta SS14 Initial reaction: Elegantly attired women having an unraveled moment of deconstruction. References: Japanese wabi sabi and material manipulation. Stand out looks: Plisse dresses interrupted with mohair felted sections, and all the structural waved pleats cascading down from dresses and tops, often in a fan-formation at the hips. Innovation: A specially woven fabric created exclusively for Bottega Veneta, made up of cotton and copper thread. Least likely to: Pop up at dress down Fridays at the office. . Accessories: Ladylike sling back sandals with a squared-off tip, rock crystal jewellery and top handled frame bags. Model behaviour: New girl Anouk, who was an exclusive for Calvin Klein in New York, is one to watch out for. Soundtrack: Brahms variations intercepted by ambient techno highlighting the contrasts of the collection. Quote of the show: "The collection is about freshness, both in terms of material and technique. I was interested in allowing the fabric to take the lead, serving as a guide to the possibilities of what we would be able to achieve." Left you wanting: To see the clothes again and up close - the show came to an abrupt end with out a finale. Bottega Veneta SS14Photography by Paolo SimiEscape the algorithm!
