notes for the summer fifa coins

In his fashion notes for the summer  2013 menswear collection, the designer points out that the pullover is a universal piece that can be found in both traditional and contemporary cultures. What Maier fails to add is that a Bottega Veneta pullover is not just any pullover. The designer puts into this seemingly simple attire the manufacturing expertise, the fabric and the attention to detail which make the difference. Many of his summer pullovers are actually tunics. They come in light wool or cotton silk and casually caress the body, giving the impression of effortless elegance. Sometimes these tunics are worn with comfortable cropped trousers at other times their hemline hangs down from under the jacket of a cotton suit.

Many of this season's Bottega Veneta shirtpullovers have a lace up front reminiscent of frontier buckskin garb, especially when they come in super soft suede and are paired with fringed ankle boots. A V neck cashmere pullover has side seam zips for extra freedom. The summer silhouette is sporty without losing its class. Jackets and trousers have a classic fit. Colous  unlike the garish shades seen on a number of the current menswear runways  are calm tones of brown, from beige to tobacco, or a quiet series of blues. Maier also leaves loud prints to his colleagues, preferring a delicate floral print which fades into the fabric of his jackets and pullovers or makes up the fabric of a suit or pair of pants, veiled with a subtle layer of organza.

The renowned Bottega Veneta bags on this round are extra large and come in functional brown leather, with an elongated strap so that they can be worn across the body. It all looks so simple, and yet somehow no other designer can carry off the intricate workmanship behind the collection with such nonchalance. Bright colours on Milan fashion runways light up the menswear horizon for summer 2013Bold shades of blue, red, yellow and green, plus pink, orange, turquoise and lime, light up the current runway, bursting into colour like fireworks on the 4th of July. Monochromatic, two tone, fluorescent or metallic, they give extra pep to a classic suit, a blazer or a pair of cotton slacks. The only designers so far to have shied from the new colour movement are  Dolce who preferred Sicilian black and Tomas Maier for Bottega Veneta who stuck to conservative brown and blue.
