Bottega Veneta....the NEW Chanel...

Well hello Judges,

How the devil are you ? I currently have the radio blaring in the background and am loving the sun coming through the window. The birds sound far too joyous hence the volume being up full on the radio and also one of my current favourite tracks of the moment came on. Gotye is a musical joy rocking a sound that hails back to Peter Gabriel.

My wine glass is long tonight with lots of ice amongst a crisp glass of Pinot, Cheers Judges here's to a long good summer.

I have been trawling through magazines and so many other sources. With this sun I have not been getting square eyed but my head suddenly thought wifi so I am enjoying the sun and am on the decking writing to you. I hope you are not reading this chained to your desk's, if so remember the Judge Say's take five away from your screen every so often to rest your valuable peepers.

So i am still up in the air about where to take my holidays but i have at least sorted my luggage. You may have noticed a label on the site you have not heard much of before or for the style savvy's out there reading this one you have been watching for many years.

Allow me to introduce Bottega Vetneta an artisan luxury label based on a strong principle of craftsman ship with a high fashion element. My recent experience was ordering a weekend bag to use as my hand luggage persuaded by a friend to consider looking at the product from a craftsmans eye I looked on the website to see what is actually involved in making the bag, the processes to make the woven leather right through to the final knot is an experience in it's own right . Hand plaited leather is stunning and the bag I know will outlast me. Bottega Veneta has recently enjoyed launching it's first perfume amongst another successful cruise line collection and both menswear and womenswear collections making huge impacts in the luxury fashion market.

The Bottega Veneta eye wear collection is no different in it's detailing with etched arms with the same woven pattern as the handmade case they are packaged in. The distinct butterfly logo features subtly on the end of arm. The collection of Bottega Veneta Designer Sunglasses can only be described as streets ahead of this season's disappointing Chanel collection which looks like a poor cousin. Celebrities love the look of Bottega Veneta with the likes of Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese witherspoon along with the Olsen twins ( otherwise known as clothes horses)

So if you want to get into this luxuriously artisan based label take the plunge and get a pair of Bottega veneta sunglasses

For now Judges

This is the Judge Signing off

Keep em peeled

Brothers in arms....legs...and sunglasses!

Good afternoon Judges,

Well it's been a little over a couple weeks since I promised a regular men's blog and as to our word this is it. So fellow Judges what is new with you ? Here at http://www.sendoptics.com/bottega-venata.html have been so busy with everything going in the shop and on line. I have added our new babies to the Judges stable ,those being http://www.sendoptics.com/balenciaga.html and the high luxe http://www.sendoptics.com/bottega-venata.html both attracting comments and praise so thanks so much for letting us know your thoughts on these, please continue to let us know your thoughts on the site and the collections and if you think I need to add anything drop me a line. Come on you know you love to tell me your thoughts as much as I love to hear them.

So Gent's as promised in this blog we are dedicating to you savvy dandies who are wanting to know the Judges thoughts on this Spring Summers trends. Read on..... We have recently launched the New Prada linear rossa collection, Prada have chosen world champion British boxing star Amir khan to be the face of the collection to show the strength and youthful approach to these classic high performance sunglasses. (add collection tag)

So what look will you gents be sporting this Season personally I am thinking of the wider legged trouser so much freer and if the sun does come out it's good to have a bit of air circulating isn't it. Trousers in general will still remain slim fitting at the base of the leg but becoming wider around the thighs. Think Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs and not forgetting the Woman in Black... Nostalgia is as big for men this season as it is for women. (add sunglasses type here)

The biggest colour story that is happening this season for you men is a favourite safe hold , whether it is indigo, cobalt, Wedgwood, sky or pastel blue is not only the colour of the waters we are all dreaming of this summer or the sky's we have had a crafty peak at. Blue is not a mood it is the colour of peace and style. Don't just wear it as a single block wear it separate shades or with other colors of the moment. Bottega Venatta has rocked the use of blue for it's menswear spring/summer collection 2012.

With Gucci life become a fail safe fashion moment of plaid mayhem that of course worked so well in it's monochrome, vision of a summer classically tailored collection will suit all body shapes and most of all add that safe classic twist to a fresh mature look that is still bang on trend. Go Gucci go ........ Just add a preppy twist with a bow tie loafers and Gucci sunglasses

Bah humbug no I have not lost it but the barber set quartet are rocking those stripes so well i have decided to rock it myself ... not just Breton striped tops but the wider candy stripes or even convict stripes .... black or white or blue and white ... go on give it a go ( add sunglasses here and comment) The best thing about stripes are the candy stripes think a stick of humbug rock and back to the days when i strolled down the prom.

Last but not least is the dressier side of menswear this season fabrics that are iridescent in high luxe finishes, satin silks and of course the ever present tonic, don't go rocking the sweaty look sheen is the classy look fine velvet blazers are the way to dress at night.

Monochrome men is still with us too stay but this year try rocking the look with a colour block , blue and black are a good way to bring the two together . Prep it up style guru's and rock the looks with the Judge. One final piece of advice Just choose one or two key pieces and invest in your accessories. With this spring summer think outside your usual safety zones try new things. Come on sod the judgement of others there is only so much time left until we celebrate the 21 of December......

For now all I am off to do a spot of shopping to go with my new sunglasses ( just one of the perks of the job )

Keep em peeled and enjoy the sun and stay safe

The Judge
