Bottega Veneta
For the shows you can't get tickets for there are the erroneously named 're-sees'. The incredibly successful Bottega Veneta -it's no secret this luxury brand is shoring up the rest of Gucci group's more whimsical loss leaders- is worth re-seeing, however. The quality of the butter-soft leathers that make up a lovely pin-tucked shirt/jacket or the springy, silk georgette from which their beautiful Grecian dresses are constructed really have to be felt to be believed. In surely the soundbyte of the season, Bottega's PR marvelled at designer Tomas Maier's ability to constantly reinterpret the woven intrecaccio leather that is the house's unofficial logo: 'If there is one thing Tomas is amazing at, it's at reinventing the weave'.
