Bottega Veneta Men’s Fall / Winter 2010

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

For Fall 2010, Bottega Veneta presents a collection characterized by assertive elegance and rebel flair. Unconventional pairings and audacious accessories add a provocative edge to clothes of superlative refinement. The silhouette, evolved from spring’s jaunty line, is stylized and urbane. Pants are tapered at the leg and full at the top, as they were last season, but with a slightly higher rise. The jacket is fuller, with a boxy profile, and a more natural shoulder.

 

The palette is dark, deep, and extravagantly nuanced, marked by subtle gradations of black, carbon gray, ink blue, bottle green, and peat brown. Pattern is equally enigmatic, ranging from shadow stripes and ghosted windowpanes to oblique, over-dyed prints. Fabrics span the spectrum from formal to sporty and from traditional to technologically advanced. There are weathered British woolens, sturdy washed cotton, worn corduroy and baby corduroy, washed nappa, and exceptionally soft suede. Moleskin, both fuzzy and smooth, adds depth and texture, as does velvet, which turns up on collars and flaps. There is cashmere, jersey, knitwear of varying gauges, ultra-light nylon, water-repellent silk, and garment-dyed parachute cotton.

 

There are more than just clothes to consider this fall. A scarf, a bolo tie, distinctive socks, a ring of antique sterling silver – each element adds shade and detail to a narrative of personal style. A soft, ultra-lightweight calfskin bag serves as a luxurious and functional signature. And in a season in which accessories are important, shoes are defining. Boasting a chunky profile and substantial swagger, fall shoes include motorcycle-inspired boots and polished-punk “creepers” of glossy leather and crocodile. Many sport a thick sole of sturdy cuoio.

“In this collection we wanted to address the different ways men visualize themselves,” says Creative Director Tomas Maier. “Bottega Veneta’s goal is always to expand the vocabulary of men’s wear, to add individuality and expression. So there is sophistication, but also playfulness, bravado, eccentricity, rebelliousness – it all depends on how it’s put together.”

Historia de Un Letrero

By | Today's Quote, Tributes | 2 Comments

Beautiful!  I was also touched by that good samaritan ( handsome too 🙂 ) took the time out to stop and help when everyone was just passing him by.  The first sign the blind man had said “I am blind, please have some compassion for me” and no one gives him money. Then the stranger changes the sign ” I am blind, I cannot see this beautiful day” after that everyone gives him money.

The film conveys that a simple change in what we want to convey makes a huge difference. Communication is so important – there are so many ways to say things BUT getting to say it the right way so that there is an impact or so that you can get accross what you want said is so important.  

The second sign struck a cord on others as it allows them to put themselves in the blind mans shoes knowing that they can see the beautiful day while he cant. The first sign just says I am blind but people dont really know how it is to be blind based on that sign….
