Crumpled Upscale Apparel

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bottega Veneta Fall 2013 Collection is Ruffled Throughout

— February 26, 2013 — Fashion
The Bottega Veneta Fall 2013 collection is full of expertly orchestrated ruffles. The line made its way to the public eye at this year's Milan Fashion Week, the site of its current take on the coming autumn months.

Veneta remained mindful of the cold season as the label dressed the Milan-based models in leather gloves and thick trousers. These practical elements were twisted with crumples of fabric that dotted the a-line dresses, skirts and two-piece suits. This unusual manner of dress was furthered with an assortment of bold patterns and prints, seen in the stripes of yellow, red and black that set this Fall 2013 line apart from other designers who participated in Milan's Fashion Week.
