Girl in Style's Illustration of Bottega Veneta, AW17
The sheer blackness of it; structured shoulders; pinched in waist.
Forget about the Little Black Dress- there is literally nothing sexier; nothing that makes a woman more attractive than the type of coat which fits like perfection and could only be made more perfect if all she were wearing underneath be lace.
I picture midnight in Milan.
A car pulls up to a building in the darkness. Out of the shadow emerges a woman; tall in stature, strong in demeanour, delicate in features. Just moments earlier, she had been waiting. Standing in the lobby (all marble and grandeur) dreaming; a coy smile planted firmly on her face. She opens the door to the back seat and sees him again for the first time; his face just as she remembers. They utter not a word to each other as the car moves through the night silently; the hum of the engine, white noise. Soon, against the blackness of the night sky, the outline of the house, where so many of their stories lived, becomes visible. Inside, their footsteps echo, alone in the empty, hollow building before they stop and gaze at each other once more. 'Shall I take your coat?' He says.
Fashion fulfils fantasy.
Such is this Perfect Black Coat by Bottega Veneta from Autumn Winter 2017. And of course, it’s perfect for the office too.
Love,
Girl in Style.
