Bottega Veneta Declares Dresses Are for Everyone
Presenting its Pre-Fall 2023 collection.
Bottega Veneta reclaims the dress, reimagining the timeless and truly genderless silhouette for its Pre-Fall 2023 collection.
Chunky calf-length knits, lace-trimmed slips and outerwear are all transformed to fit the season’s dress code, arriving in a variety of colors and textures. Bottega Veneta fulfills on this promise, presenting a burgundy empire waist dress with two layers for added flair. A beautiful crimson dress bears an avant grade rolled neck and shelf-like hips, marrying the past with the present for a completely futuristic look. Demure brown tweed takes on a whole new life as the otherwise drab fabric is molded into an ankle-length dress with exaggerated hips, a low neckline and flirty shoulder bows. Oversized tuxedo jackets are decorated with visible interrupted stitching. The graphic pattern reappears on a button-down sort and skirt set, paired with vibrant red sock-like boots, evoking a Risky Business attitude.
Meanwhile, inventive tailoring takes center stage as leather is warped into a dramatic asymmetrical frock and trench coat ensemble. A cognac crocodile coat delivers dimension, thanks to a cropped boxy midriff giving way to familiar buttons, mirroring a tiered dress.
