BOTTEGA VENETA
RESORT 2004/2005
Resort 2004 reveals the quiet drama of opposites combined. Strength and fragility, nature and metropolis, angular and fluid—these are the elements of impact. Repulse Bay, the lush, tranquil beach community set on the edge of glittering Hong Kong, is the collection’s geographical equivalent. A beautiful Chinese goldfish is its luminous motif. Functionality, central to all Bottega Veneta designs, is especially important in a resort collection. So these luxurious pieces pack easily, combine in many ways, take you effortlessly from plane to play to dinner. Sensual and individualistic, they go from day to night and from the city to the beach.
And there’s more:
· The palette is black, pitch black, rendered in all its surface possibilities—highly lacquered, deeply matte, bright and shiny, molten and soft. Touches of delicate jade, salmon, and ivory stand out in contrast.
· Fabrics are soft and fluid. There’s lush silk caddy, with a surface as particular as a landscape. Jersey and fine silk suede flow over the skin like liquid. The gentle touch of baby cashmere and slinky silk knit contrasts with the fresh edge of cotton taffeta.
· Swimming sea life graces the standout print of the season, a high-contrast design that’s gorgeously detailed and utterly irresistible. Also, Bottega Veneta’s signature frame print, updated and sized for a sleek, saucy headscarf, a carefree way to keep hair from the wind and sun. The same print is cut into an intriguing patterned dress. | Translation - Italian
BOTTEGA VENETA
COLLEZIONE MARE 2004/2005
La collezione mare 2004 rivela il dolce dramma dell'unione degli opposti. Forza e fragilità, natura e metropoli, spigolosità e fluidità: sono questi gli elementi di impatto. Repulse Bay, la lussureggiante e tranquilla spiaggia adagiata al margine di una scintillante Hong Kong, è l'equivalente geografico della collezione. Un pesce rosso ne è lo splendente motivo conduttore. La funzionalità, elemento cruciale del design Bottega Veneta, gioca un ruolo fondamentale nella collezione mare. I lussuosi capi di abbigliamento entrano facilmente in valigia, si combinano in più modi e vi accompagnano comodamente in aereo, durante l'attività fisica e nei momenti di relax. Sensuali e individualisti,sono adatti di giorno e di sera, in città e in spiaggia.
Ma non basta:
· Domina un solo colore, il nero come la pece, presentato in una miriade di finiture: elegantemente laccato, totalmente opaco, luminoso e brillante, liquido e morbido. A contrasto, tenui sfumature di giada, salmone e avorio.
· I tessuti sono morbidi e fluidi. Spicca l'elegante cady di seta, con una speciale finitura, bella come un paesaggio. Il jersey e la delicata seta a effetto scamosciato scivolano delicatamente sulla pelle. La morbida sensazione della maglieria in baby cashmere e in seta aderente contrasta con la freschezza delle bordature in taffettà di cotone.
· L'atmosfera marina incorona l'eccezionale stampa di questa stagione, una fantasia di contrasti, splendida nei dettagli e irresistibile nel look. Inoltre, la firma Bottega Veneta fa da cornice alla stampa, rinnovata e ingrandita ad abbellire l'elegante e impertinente foulard, un modo allegro per proteggere i capelli dal vento e dal sole. Si ritrova la stessa stampa in un vestito dai motivi intriganti.
