Cruising with Bottega – For its cruise 2014 campaign, Bottega Veneta enlisted photographer David Armstrong to shoot on location in New York City. Model Laura Love stars in the advertisements, replacing fall face Raquel Zimmermann. Laura lounges in the pictures, wearing the elegant and ladylike designs of creative director Tomas Maier. “The clothes in this collection have an informal sensibility that is intrinsic to Cruise, and yet as with all our collections, there is a rigorous craftsmanship beneath everything,” Maier says about the new season.
The dresses are so pretty, but the model is kind of underwhelming.
What happened here?! I normally love the ads but this is so, so bland. As is the model. It’s like a beige invasion.
I think the model is beautiful, but perhaps it’s the makeup/hair styling. It really does look as if someone got a friend and took some pictures in the house. As for the clothes, I think Bottega Veneta does resort right. (Is ‘resort’ the same as ‘cruise’?)
