Exclusive First Look: The Art of Collaboration

Since assuming the helm of Bottega Veneta in 2001, Tomas Maier has expanded the brand beautifully. While the global expansion is evident, Maier focuses on organic growth and keeps the brand aesthetically and philosophically consistent. Each season graciously evolves to the next, while the quality and timelessness always remain key aspects. The collection for Fall 2009 is soft, romantic, and at times eccentric, yet Maier knows how to pull everything together for the final product to be elegant and controlled. The line is spectacular, showcasing a romanticism that is both powerful and riveting.

The models in this video are seen in key pieces for fall; including the magnificent Grape Cocco Glace Bag ($26,500), Grape Intrecciato Chantilly Karung Bag ($5,500), Lilac Gold Dust San Marco Karung Bag ($3,600), and the BV Nero Waxed Python Shopper ($4,650).
