At Milan Fashion Week, Bottega Veneta offered an immersive and poetic winter 2024 runway presentation, looking to the burnished landscape of southern Italy for eternal optimism and resilience in daily dressing.
“Monumentalism of the everyday: a sense of allure and confidence in the pragmatic, utilitarian and
purposeful. How daywear is perceived in this nighttime world; silhouettes are simplified and
recognised like monoliths in the dark. In a world on fire, there is something very human in the
simple act of dressing,”—Matthieu Blazy
Within a set designed by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, a burnt orange evening glow was cast upon models swathed in the vivid new collection. Shimmering glass cacti with budding flowers showcased fine artisanal craftsmanship of Murano, collaged with show seating created by Cassina with bespoke Le Corbusier LC14 Cabanon stools; the imaginative pieces enhanced with a seared wood finish were the result of time-honored Japanese technique and will go on to be featured at Milan Design Week.
