The Spring collections are sometimes not by favourite, especially when overly bright colours dominate. Pops of fushia, cyan, tangerine, chartreuse, ochre, lime, vermilion make me dizzy. Admittedly, primary colours aren't my thing either. Thus Bottega Veneta's Spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection was a breath of fresh air, my fresh air. Like roaming a circus grounds of unrelenting swirling pigments and finally entering the dark, cool tent filled with mystery and anticipation. Compared to the celebration of spring by adopting all shades of the flowers, this was a sexy, glamourous translation. Cirque du Soleil's KÀ versus Saltimbanco. The loose fitting shapes and breezy materials still a nod to the season.
