This is pure beauty, WOW! I love this collection so much. So elegant! Love the cuts, simple and clean and yet so very luxe. I'm usually a huge lover of color (and tend to love the color combinations of Bottega Veneta) but I don't mind the very dark colors here at all. Black sure doesn't look boring that way!
It's opulent and there are some lovely gowns at the end.

Another stellar outing from Mr. Maier. I was beginning to worry about the route Bottega was going after last F/W, but these two collections have been strong and sexy. This one continues the same line of thought as the Spring collection, just as sensual, but darker and more luxurious. Not sure if I am mad on the prints or peplum (?) looks but everything else gets an A+ from me.
With a different footwear this collection would've been absolutely perfect for me, because it's already really really great.
I am in love with the aesthetic. A very strong woman wich excells in elegance. The silhouettes are very appealing, great print work and those evening dresses are simply exquisite.

Great looking collection. It's nice to see Maier sharpen the look up a bit, remove some of the softer edges and do something very sharp and assertive. Those opening coats are gorgeous.

One of my favorite collections of Milan thus far.
I just love how obscure it all is. I'm sensing a small subtle goth vibe from this, which I love. I'm also very fond of the details. For example, I just love the placement of the embellishments. The third gown in post number 14 on Nimue is just too good!
