No doubt Bottega Veneta is feeling pleased with its decision to hand Matthieu Blazy the reins:
"Bottega Veneta is in essence pragmatic because it is a leather goods company. Because it specialises in bags it is about movement, of going somewhere; there is fundamentally an idea of craft in motion," Blazy said in the show notes. "It is style over fashion in its timelessness. That is part of its quiet power."
Unsurprisingly, the bulk of his focus falls on handbags and shoes, those must-have items that seem to fly off shelves. Blazy shifts away from the styles that made his predecessor so successful, and puts his own tweaks on some of the brand's signature woven leather "intreccio" pieces, expanding it out to include bucket bags and thigh-high boots.
Elsewhere, the ready-to-wear experiments with new ideas, such as "denim" pieces that are actually leather printed with photo-realistic detailing and button-downs made of the same material. Feather-like explosions of leather fringe appear at shoulders and lining underneath leather skirts . The cut of jackets and coats create interesting shapes, but the tailoring keeps everything grounded in a wearable realm.
It was an excellent debut for Blazy, imperfections and all . While it'll be hard to know how well these looks are received until they hit retail, no doubt Bottega Veneta feels pleased with its decision to hand him the reins.
