TOMAS MAIER’S NEWEST LINE WILL HAVE YOU CRAVING SUMMER ALL YEAR LONG. BY LISA FERRANDINO
Tomas Maier’s newest line will have you craving summer all year long.
Tomas Maier is all about perfect balance. At Bottega Veneta, where he’s been creative director since 2001, he delivers chic and subtle pieces season after season, while his eponymous label emphasizes Miami-tinged luxury basics (the logo is a palm tree). For the 20th anniversary of the latter, Maier has put together a beach capsule collection par excellence. “The design, cut, and quality are unlike anything shoppers have seen before,” he says.
The ultimate sand-and-sun wardrobe for both men and women, the collection nods to the brand’s roots in swimwear and knits while maintaining the European-made quality that renders these wardrobe essentials luxe enough for trendsetters on their day off. For women, the options range from slinky dresses in iridescent neutrals to a jumper in melon, while black two-pieces and sun hats elevate the everyday beach look. And for the gents, expect a palette of neutrals with pops of metallic (like gold trunks that go with anything without being too flashy). Towels and totes round out the collection, for a posh homage to the surf-andsun lifestyle. Beachgoers, you’ve met your match. 74 Montauk Hwy., East Hampton, 631-604-6700; tomasmaier.com
