Bottega Venetta Post #1

TOMAS MAIER cultivates tenacity. If a tree in his garden doesn’t thrive, he simply uproots it and replants. During a fashion career spanning more than two decades, Mr. Maier channeled this pursuit of an elusive perfection into designs so low-key and finely tuned that they often flew beneath the radar. Then a half-dozen years ago, he trained his sights on Bottega Veneta, transforming that once-ailing fashion house into one of Europe’s top-selling luxury brands, with annual sales of more than $500 million worldwide.

Today the muted logo-free look that is the brand’s signature is widely regarded as the standard-bearer for a new kind of luxury: subtle, long-lasting and recession-proof. In such a climate, Mr. Maier himself has emerged as a hero, albeit a reluctant one — and, to his admirers, even something of a prophet. Courtesy of thefashionspot.com
