Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 Runway Asymmetric Striped Mini Dress

From Tomas Maier’s acclaimed Spring 2012 collection for Bottega Veneta, this runway mini dress is a masterclass in precision construction and unexpected texture. Cut in an asymmetric silhouette, the piece layers vertical stripes of deep violet, espresso brown, and inky black in alternating sheers and velvets, creating a dimensional effect that shifts with movement. A diagonal pleated detail sweeps across the neckline, drawing the eye upward, while the bias-cut panelling subtly skims the figure.

This rare archival piece was Look 37 on the runway, styled with minimal accessories to let its sculptural form speak. In a true Bottega spirit, the craftsmanship is felt as much as it is seen — every seam placed for both drama and comfort.
