German-born Tomas Maier started his career at Hermes, and is credited with the turnaround of Bottega Veneta, where he has been Creative Director since 2001. Though his work takes him all over the world, Maier’s personal life is based in Miami and accordingly, his eponymous label first became famous for its swimsuits. He’s known for being meticulous about functionality–each piece fits just-right, in the kind of shapes and silhouettes that feel of-the-moment, but stay in your wardrobe for years.
