Bottega Veneta: Not Your Average Glamour

Composed in colors like cognac, curry and caramel, the leather skirts, blouses and dresses were pleated and folded just so to add a timeless sense of volume, curvilinear cuts that flattered the form as they evoked a sense of offbeat class.

One could also greatly admire the Sans Culottes pajama strip cotton jackets, finely sculpted jersey dresses and tapestry print cocktails, which add to the sense of refined poise.

"Volume and glamour, but not in a typical way" was creative director Tomas Maier's comment on the collection, shown in the label's Milan headquarters.

However, while blessed with great taste and a savvy sense of tailoring, Maier's draping this season was hit and miss, especially his sleeveless shifts and coral print housedresses. And the truth about BV shows is that they are often less than the sum of their parts.

The bag of the season so far was the intriguing oxidized tote that Maier sent out. And, his African-influenced loose leather knit clutches were fine too. Once again, Maier dreamt up some natty footwear - refined sandal wedges - and a wonderful choice of jewelry, from sunburst coral earrings to bold amber amulets. kim kardashian camel toe, pfnc global communities, matt millen fired, National punctuation day, casey anthony text messages, cindy michaels from wvii tv

Hannah Montana Bottega

Hannah Montana: Patti McTeague, a Disney spokeswoman for the "Hannah Montana" show, told Reuters that reports of on-set turmoil were "absolutely not true, pure gossip."

Cyrus, 15, one of the world's most popular teen celebrities, said she had no plans to leave the show -- Disney's most watched series for 6-11 year-olds and the basis of a huge merchandising empire.

"I am fully committed to 'Hannah Montana,'" Cyrus told People in a report on the magazine's website on Monday.

Cyrus's comments followed reports on celebrity website TMZ.com that Cyrus was trying to get fired by showing up late on set, stalling production and infuriating the cast and crew.

TMZ suggested that Cyrus, who is building a successful pop music career in her own right, wanted to focus on singing rather than the TV show.

In the show, Cyrus plays a schoolgirl who leads a secret life as a pop star named Hannah Montana. One-time country sensation Billy Ray Cyrus, her real life father, plays Miley's dad on the show.

Bottega Veneta Celebrates The Knot

The Knot is one of Bottega Veneta’s most recognizable and beloved handbags. When Tomas Maier took the reins as Creative Director in 2001, he recognized the special quality of the company’s small, rounded box clutch.
Maier created a new closure in the shape of a small leather knot and gave the bag its name. Since then, versions of the Knot have been featured in every Bottega Veneta collection. Its perfect shape and clear function have proved an irresistible canvas for Maier and the Bottega Veneta artisans.

Modern interpretations have ranged from the refined to the fanciful, including the Origami Knot, of intricately creased patent leather; the Jardin Knot, crafted from a profusion of leather blossoms; the Vintage Jewel Knot, embroidered with antique crystals; an Art Deco-inspired version in sterling silver with faceted onyx; and others of woven sterling silver, padded satin, and soft crocodile.

While the Knot is frequently copied, no imitation comes close to the quality, craftsmanship, and beauty of the genuine article. Regnbågsfestivalen 2008 Malmö | Gay pride malmö | Bigfoot body found | Aaliyah dead body

Giles Deacon London Fashion Week

Giles Deacon's Conceptual Glam. Though highly directional, the show contained enough wearable clothes to indicate that the 39-year-old "enfant terrible" of UK fashion may also be growing up. Saying a show where a half dozen models wore space age plastic bowls on their heads was commercial might seem absurd, but Deacon's snazzy cocktails, naughty secretary skirts and glove like leather mini-bombers were all strong at-the-cash register looks.

Deacon also varied his silhouette, opening with the high-waist and to-the-knee skirt that is dominating London runways, albeit in white plasticized cotton. Antm cycle 11 episode 4,5,6,7, Josh howard site youtube.com, Svetlana Pankratova photos pics pictures

Bottega Veneta's latest collection

On the accessories front, there is everything from the exquisite cosmetics case in dark red or blue (made with either cotton or satin lining) to the leather key ring and lanyard (also available in dark red, blue or grey).

For this season, two designs of shoes are available. One is "invisible" with a recessed platform and a conical heel. The shoe comes in pump, ankle boot and lace-up heel.

The other design, a sandal, is overt and opulent. The sandal is made of black crocodile and elasticised velvet straps. The shoes are perfect to slip on for occasions such as a stroll in the park, a meal with friends or even work.
Bag aficionados can indulge in the new selection that is soft and sometimes padded on the inside. The bags are made from crocodile, ostrich, python or butter-soft cloth leather. Margaret Hoelzer, Brianna denison, , Modern art museum in Moscow, Bottega Veneta's latest collection

Bottega Veneta dress

I was away for few weeks for school reason and now i am back with some Fashion issues to share. You know how I love Bottega Veneta. I ran through this news today and I thought this one is worth to post. I Think this one is a wrong choice for McCain Sarah Palin bikini photos and pictures.

This Bottega Veneta dress takes art deco inspiration and projects it onto a dress with a thirties and forties classic silhouette. The full backed skirt gives this dress the freedom and girlish element that is true to the fashion of the time as well as the architectural influences. Post for FENDI
