With its third collection by Tomas Maier, Bottega Veneta, the leather-goods house famous in the 1970s for its woven bags and the slogan "When your own initials are enough," confirmed expectations that it would be Gucci Group's next successful turnaround.

Fashion forecasting is a dubious business in any year, but this year it's tougher than ever.
