Amid a sea of “conventional” luxury fashion houses, Bottega Veneta has garnered a reputation for breaking protocol under the guidance of Daniel Lee, Creative Director. Aside from occasional fashion enthusiast- or media-generated hashtags, the label does not have much of a presence on social media, nor does it operate according to a traditional fashion calendar. This unique approach often extends to its collections, which, in the case of Bottega Veneta Wardrobe 02 collection, can be distinguished through the use of eccentric hardware, textile variety and bold colors. In addition to vibrant leather coats and trousers, furry outerwear and colorful oversized suits, other standout items in this Pre-Fall 2021 collection include coated canvas coats, herringbone wool overcoats, velour lounge suits, slim trousers, oversized teddy coats and trucker jackets adorned with metal studs. Beads, feathers and jewels further accent the impeccable tailoring evident throughout. Casual pieces include jumpsuits and technical parkas, both crafted with utility and luxury top of mind. The Wardrobe 02 collection lookbook models include a host of artists, creatives and other notable figures including Arca, Kesewa Aboah, Roberto Bolle, Mark Leckey, Melina Matsoukas, Venetia Scott, Skepta, Slowthai and more.
