Shu Qi, Yara Shahidi And Globetrotting At Bottega Veneta Summer 2024
The destination? Blazy’s own abstract expression of a multi-cultural society.
The invitation for Bottega Veneta's Summer 2024 offering—a compass—was a hint of what to expect from Matthieu Blazy's latest collection for the brand. Blazy is asking us to explore the world of Bottega Veneta with him, and we oblige. This time, the destination is Blazy’s own abstract expression of a multi-cultural society with references to Africa, south of Sicily, east of Java, the streets of Berlin—and is that a nod to Japan that we saw? You be the judge.

What appeared on the runway, meanwhile, was a hyper-luxurious showing, where each look was richer than the one that appeared before it. The leather numbers in strips of bright colour combinations are technical and exquisite. The ‘clamshell’ dresses that feature curvaceous panels in contrasting fabrics look new but feel familiar. Meanwhile, the capacious totes, carryalls and backpacks along with the thigh-high boots that have become Blazy’s BV signatures come in the house’s Intreccio weave, and they are just *chef's kiss*.
