Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2010 Collection was a study in simplicity, color, and expert tailoring. Tomas Maier stuck to the brand’s DNA and produced a collection fit for Spring on the Italian Riviera.

The collection played with many types of silhouettes with the overall unifying factor being the easiness and complete wearability of the clothing. Dresses appeared in many different forms from sheaths to shirtdresses to amazingly colorful  floor-sweeping ball gowns. Pants were also shown mostly at capri length, though shorts were present in comfortable lengths in contrast to the hot pants that have been the trend in other collections.

The color palette was mostly based in creams and neutrals allowing the bright accents and accessories to pop. Color crept through in the amazing array of accessories that Bottega is always known for: exotic skin handbags, raffia wedges, and so much more. When the color appeared, it was vibrant in bright shades of yellow, purple, electric blue, hot pink, coral, and emerald green. Jewelry was also a highlight of the collection showcasing pieces with ornate silver and mixed media which gave an elegance and refinement to the collection and presented an interesting juxtaposition against the carefree clothing.

For beauty, the models had invisible eyebrows, perfectly finished faces, and mauve lips which screamed youth. Hair was swept back away from the face with white headbands and in messy buns contributing to the easy feeling of the collection.

Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2010 Collection is for the carefree woman who is not afraid to live on the bright side of life. More highlights from the collection below (courtesy of Style.com).
