Bottega Veneta Fall Winter 2010 Mens Accessories, Shoes and Bags
Fall Winter 2010 is a season for the confident and self assured men. Bottega Veneta presents a collection characterized by assertive elegance and rebel flair, contrasting audacious accessories with clothes of superlative refinement for a provocative edge.
Tough luxe, modern sporty silhouettes and traditional influences are unconventionally paired with defining footwear and vintage inspired accessories.
Weathered British woolens, classic tailored jackets and styles that seem to sprung up from the history pages of old western America makes for an interesting styling twist against the motorcycle/military inspired boots or polished-punk 'creepers' of glossy and crocodile leather.
Those boots are some of the best looking for next Fall season, with zip up versions, lace-up military variants or motorcycle styles even James Dean will take a fancy upon. Bolo ties and quiffs are signature styling for the Bottega Veneta runway, creating a link back to nostalgia and tradition.
Bags came in the form of soft, ultra-lightweight calfskin duffels and backpacks, nylon totes and over-nighters or jewel toned (ink blue and bottle green) carry-all with shoulder strap. You cannot help but covet these lovely arm candies.
I also adore the jewellery, most notable, the chunky antique sterling silver bracelets and the soft overdyed scarfs which adds colour and a rough edge for an otherwise polished look.
“In this collection we wanted to address the different ways men visualize themselves,” says Creative Director Tomas Maier. “Bottega Veneta’s goal is always to expand the vocabulary of men’s wear, to add individuality and expression. So there is sophistication, but also playfulness, bravado, eccentricity, rebelliousness – it all depends on how it’s put together."
Well said! Now who wants a piece of Bottega Veneta next fall? I know I do!
