Bottega Venetta is a heavy hitter in the design world by crafting pieces that are simple, tailored, chic and highly sophisticated which continually distance this brand apart from the rest of the haute couture crowd. Get into this Spring/Summer collection for 2008.

Also, designer Neil Barrett was hiding under the radar this season (2007) but we managed to find a few pieces that showcase his style, creativity and sense of the time. These two pieces together are fierce and ready to work!

The vest in the first one is very haute with the oval-line cut and the re-emergence of the narrow toe shoe. Simple vests call for simple measures so stick to solid colors and nice dress pants. The second look reflects how bold patterns of varying degree work well if done in moderation. Exquisite styling and splendiferous collections.
