Structured coats, color blocking and accentuations of the female form strolled down the runway as Bottega Veneta created their own era by way of a new silhouette. With belted jackets, high necklines puffed sleeves, tailored waistlines, and a pantsuit or two; they aimed to show off a classic feminine feel for the modern woman. The men debuted with fitted jackets and coats with the occasional bow tie and natural textured hair to match. Accompanying the traces of dusty rose, pale yellow and pastel blue, the women wore a soft twisted upstyle with a modernized ‘40’s flair.
“Here at the Bottega show we’re doing a modern take on the 1940’s via a French Twist with a roll at the front. I’ve made the look slightly punky by allowing some pieces to stick out. I’m using Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam for added volume and Wind Blown 05 throughout the lengths for added grip.” – Guido
