Happy Bottega Veneta Day to all who celebrate.
A clear evening in Milan saw the Italian house present its Summer 2024 collection. After two seasons of excellent apparel and accessories, Matthieu Blazy's Bottega odyssey continues.
For SS24, clothes are "freeform" and "without codes", per Blazy in a press statement. Bottega Veneta's latest collection channels the "the personal pleasure of dressing up, of being whoever and whatever you would like to be, of traveling in the imagination as much as in the world through clothing."
The results, you ask? Bouncy pom-pom pieces met statement coats on the runway, styled with even more eye-catching pairings like free-flowing fringe dresses, strong-patterned "knitwear," and delectable new-season leather accessories.
Bunched proportions gave way to new shapes, all the while striding past tasteful knot details and trickery textures.
Like seasons past, Bottega SS24 delivers more leather, leather, and more "I can't believe it's leather" manipulated pieces. We're eyeing the trench coat, shirt, tie, and jeans combo in particular. Oh, and the leather newspapers forming the Foulard bags.
Speaking of bags, Bottega Veneta's handbags reached gigantic levels for the SS24 season, resulting in XXXL carry-ons realized in the house's signature intreccio and intrecciato concepts, of course.
And at the end, Blazy took his bow — more like a steady jog around the catwalk — in Bottega Veneta's new gleaming Orbit sneakers.
