Soft, flexible colors characterize the essential line and simple cut with unexpected details taken from work clothing as large pockets on the jackets. Man and woman dress a turned glamor that focuses on playing overlays.
The lengths change and the variations in the cut are diminished to leave space for garments with decisive designs and entangling and precious decorations for motifs and fabrics such as shirt-dresses cutted into a slightly iridescent silk from a historic Italian seteria.

Tomas Maier, creative director of Bottega Veneta speaks about the garments of the Spring Summer 2018 collection and describes them as “casual clothes”and is just what they look like, components of a uniform for daily living.
Even and most of all, the man is surprised by his naturalness and comfort, nothing is structured, everything is conceived to express a concealed and hidden idea behind the desire to express an individual that can come out without being extra. In the Bottega Veneta collections, leather goods and accessories have a key role to play in defining style. For this collection the brand has a new entry, but not so new.
The BV73 is actually the daughter of a shoulder strap already in the Bottega Veneta archives but in this case it’s in hand-painted python and calf skins in dahlia, mist and chamomile. Palio, the second new addition to the accessories, is a line of contrasted braided handbags designed to be functional with shoulder straps and pockets. Knot, on the other hand, is characterized by three-dimensional details in line with the new trends and the central role of the accessory in the latest collections.
More colorful the Piazza line presents multicolored ayers snake inlays. Now I want to tell you about the footwear of the Spring Summer 2018 collection for both man and woman. Matching to the Palio shoes thanks to the common details are the low-heeled Orsay models. Polished nap, suede and velvet are the materials used to make the shoes comfortable, of the highest quality and fresh in style. Inspired by the Hall of Marble at Kedlestone Hall, the palette remains the crucial point in the development of a collection signed by Bottega Veneta.
