While Tomas Maier should be lauded (highly, by any standards) for being consistent, and sticking to his aesthetic guns so rigourously, this collection lacks the sizzle of the new. One does look forward, doesn't one, to something fresh with a new season? And while the presentation continues the theme of the royally rumpled, the luxuriously louche, the refined sensuality that Mr Maier has made Bottega Veneta's signature, there's a lack in fashion excitement this time round. Is it the palette that seems a trifle subdued? Still the seperates and dresses have that rich quality that pehaps makes something like 'fashion excitement' irrelevant. Solid and classic, if stodgy.
