There is rarely a whiff of any androgyny at Bottega Veneta, where Tomas Maier plies lived-in-looking, resolutely masculine fashions that are nevertheless painstakingly detailed.
Bottega Veneta presents Men's Cruise Resort 2015/2016. “The starting point for Cruise is an energizing color palette intended to offset the seasonal weather, and the concern for not having to wait to wear clothes”, says Creative Director Tomas Maier. “The Collection emphasizes relaxed clothing that can be worn right away, while indulging the wearer with their own experience to discover the details.”
Originally shot while developing the Dominic Albano Collection, this striking Polaroid series evolved into a sensual exploration of queer male portraiture inspired by iconic photographers and the provocative fashion imagery of the 1990s.
