While Gucci, Vetements, Burberry and Bottega Veneta will be showing their men's and women's offerings together during women's fashion weeks, Ms. Westwood has decided to buck the trend, meaning she'll be showing her women's wear along with her men's designs at London Fashion Week Men's.
|
|
Brands in Italy and France just said no to that idea, but not before putting forth a different one: Bottega Veneta, like Gucci and Burberry, said separate men's and women's narratives made no sense, and announced that they would combine both sexes in one show.
|
|
Or so Daniel Lee showed at Bottega Veneta, abandoning the tough-guy trickiness that had marked the clothes in his first two shows in favor of extreme comfort dressing: long, unconstricting, with a certain enveloping clarity of purpose and a touch of the X Games.

" The fashion magazine heralded Lee's influence, reminding us that "the world got its first glimpse of his vision for Bottega Veneta via look book last December, when the brand released its Pre-Fall images, but we're already seeing other designers taking cues from him.

There is a reason a pair of basic cotton poplin trousers from Bottega Veneta costs $800 and a deceptively simple shearling coat from Mr. Cucinelli can cost almost as much as a Mini Cooper: "That particular customer wants something special," without standing out, Mr. Cucinelli said.
|

In April, Gucci said that in 2017, it would unite its men's and women's collections in a single show, most likely during the women's wear season, and earlier this week, Bottega Veneta said it would hold a joint show this September in honor of its 50th birthday.

Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Raf Simons now at Prada, Riccardo Tisci at Burberry, Hedi Slimane (who, in 2018, replaced a female as creative director) at Celine, Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton, and Daniel Lee at Bottega Veneta — and that's just the Cliff Notes version.

For every Bruno Sialelli, 31, who will have his debut here for Lanvin on Wednesday or Daniel Lee, 32, who last week showed his first collection for Bottega Veneta in Milan, the majority of the big brands are dominated by designers well into middle age, and beyond.
|
|
And it celebrates everything we admire about Bottega Veneta but seldom give it credit for: soft edges on strong silhouettes, its care and craftsmanship toward textiles like leather, silk, and wool, and its subtlety when it comes to wearing clothes you can just tell are worth the price tag.

Sure enough, Leonardo DiCaprio soon rounded a corner, so low key as to be almost unrecognizable amid all the sleek, tanned types wearing $800 Bottega Veneta khakis and $1,500 Berluti sneakers (the men) or toting Nilo crocodile Birkin handbags from Hermès, gilded clasps left unfastened with studied nonchalance.

Mr. Maier designed ready-to-wear collections as well as accessories and furniture for Bottega Veneta — Naomi Watts, Amal Clooney and Kristin Scott Thomas have all worn it within the last 12 months — but its strongest business is in leather goods, which account for 85 percent of its revenues.
|
|
The men's shows are underway in Europe — see the scene from London Collections: Men — and although key brands like Jil Sander, Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Calvin Klein won't be showing as usual, there's plenty to look forward to: A handful of Italy's biggest brands are inaugurating new designers.

When the former director of ready-to-wear at Celine took the helm at Bottega Veneta in 2017, it didn't take long before the fashion industry turned to the Italian brand for its Old Celine-Phoebe Philo-era fix (and we were rather forlorn, after Hedi Slimane's New Celine debut).

Si quieres jugar al mercado, entonces, podrías comprar algunas carteras Bottega Veneta (que tiene menos valor acumulado) a un bajo precio y apostar a que otras personas vean que no se venden bien y dejen de ofertarlas, lo que haría que eventualmente el valor suba y te permitiría vender a un precio mayor.

In news that should finally put that whole are-they aren't-they supermodels thing to bed, well at least for Gigi Hadid, the Tommy Hilfiger-collaborator walked the Bottega Veneta runway with Lauren Hutton: For those who aren't familiar with Hutton's work, she's one of the reasons the word supermodel even exists today.

Kering's Yves Saint Laurent posted comparable sales growth of 23.7 percent, against average expectations of 25 percent growth, while sales at Bottega Veneta rose 1.7 percent First-half recurring operating profit rose 57.1 percent to 1.274 billion euros ($1.49 billion), with operating margin at Gucci reaching a record 32 percent of sales.

Bottega Veneta is ocean hopping from Milan to New York to celebrate the opening of its biggest store in the world with the first-ever show at the American Stock Exchange, where the designer Tomas Maier collaborated with Scott Pask ("The Book of Mormon") on the set, followed by a blowout party.

But instead of cooking for the affluent crowd like I did when I was at Bottega Louie in downtown or the powerful pharmaceutical heads while I worked at Terranea Resort, I'm flipping it on its head and serving this food to people who are struggling or dealing or have dealt with drug-addiction like myself.

Luxury's chess masters prepare for a new game Chanel publishes annual results for first time in 5203 Years Bottega Veneta names Daniel Lee as creative director At the time, start-ups like WhatsApp, Uber and Deliveroo were upending the landscape of their respective sectors, transforming the way people communicate, shop, socialize, travel and eat.
|
|
Even on such a list, however, Gucci's case stands out, because of the extremely large sum involved; the fact that the fashion brand is owned by Kering, the French luxury and sports lifestyle group that also owns Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, among other names; and Gucci's reputation as the fairy tale of fashion.
|
|
Fashion is divided on a lot of things: Wearing white pants after Labor Day, Kanye West, how small is too small when it comes to the size of your handbag... One thing that no one in the industry disagrees on, though, is the significance of Daniel Lee's role as Creative Director of Bottega Veneta.
|
|
After all, though these clothes may qualify as real for a select few, Ms. Fendi's buffalo-plaid mink bathrobe coats are not exactly everyday wear, and those '80s volumes at Bottega will be challenging for most (the baggy shorts and elongated power jackets on top tend to squash the silhouette, rather than extend it).
|
|
There's an obvious monetary benefit to combining your men's wear and women's wear runways — it doesn't take a genius to figure one fashion show is cheaper than two, although how much that figures into the thinking of brands like Gucci and Bottega Veneta (whose combined 2015 revenues were in excess of $5.5 billion) is debatable.
|
|
This structure fell out of favor after the implosion of John Galliano, who was designing both Christian Dior and his own line, but it has been making a comeback, with Jonathan Anderson juggling collections for J. W. Anderson and Loewe, and Tomas Maier doing so for the line that carries his name, as well as for Bottega Veneta.
|
|
DEAR GUY: I've been thinking about you a lot over the last month of ready-to-wear shows, because even though only a few brands "officially" combined their men's and women's collections this season — Burberry, Bottega Veneta — in fact, in Milan at least, it seemed as if the majority of brands were testing out the idea.
|
|
This all helped Kering report Bottega revenues of 333 billion euros (approximately $1.3 billion) in 2019, a 2.2 percent increase from the year before — tiny compared to Gucci's double digit figures, but after three years of not entirely positive numbers, widely taken as a sign of a turnaround in reports by Citibank, Deutsche Bank and other industry analysts.
|
|
Then Bottega Veneta, the Italian brand that had been defined for 17 years by Tomas Maier, the insistence that your own initials are enough and its woven intrecciato leather bags, announced that Mr. Maier would be leaving the company and would be replaced by Daniel Lee, a young British designer most people had never heard of.
|
|
Not because of the gyrations of the Dow, which had all eyes suddenly fixed on Wall Street, but because the Italian brand Bottega Veneta had decided that for one season only it would move its joint men's and women's show from Milan to Manhattan, and it had chosen the early-20th-century limestone building on Trinity Place as its site.
|
|
And earlier this month, days after Bottega Veneta said that it had parted ways with its longtime creative director Tomas Maier in favor of a 32-year-old unknown, Daniel Lee, Kering confirmed that it was in talks to sell its 51 percent stake in Christopher Kane back to the British designer and that Mr. Maier's namesake business would cease operations.
|
|
This time around Etro and Missoni joined Bottega Veneta and Gucci in merging men's and women's wear, and the results were additive: a richer, deeper visual portrait that showed in high-res how a designer's vision could iterate for the sexes, and how the wardrobe lessons — and fabrics, and tonal combinations — of one gender are transferable to the other (and vice versa).
|
|
Every few years, it seems, another American company decides to try to mimic the success of the major European conglomerates, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (owner of more than 50 brands, including Givenchy, Fendi and Marc Jacobs, and of one of the largest market capitalizations in France), Kering (Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney) and Richemont (Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chloé).

And signet rings, which traditionally were inscribed with family crests and used for wax seals, have risen in popularity for men and women in recent years because of designers like Castro Smith and the signet specialist Rebus, both in London; M.

In the shoe section there was Saint Laurent (poppy-red strappy sandals), Malone Souliers (gold and red embroidered mules in black velvet) and Aquazzura (deep-blue ankle boots), while handbags included clutches from Bottega Veneta in its classic intrecciato pattern in both cotton-candy pink and baby blue, and a gold spider-embroidered clutch in dark green velvet from the Turkish designers Sanayi 313.

Widely respected, Mr. Toledano wielded influence that has reached far beyond LVMH, through the ascension of a group of chief executives who once worked for him at Dior, including Michael Burke, the chief executive of Louis Vuitton; Claus-Dietrich Lahrs, the head of Bottega Veneta; Valérie Hermann, the president of global brands at Ralph Lauren, and Pierre Denis, the chief executive of Jimmy Choo.

But since 2009, when the Danish Fashion Association launched the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, this has been the meeting place for brands and groups from Nike to Tiffany, Patagonia, Kering (the owner of Gucci, YSL, Bottega etc.), Prabal Gurung and H&M (natch) who are trying to figure out the answer to that possibly apocryphal claim that fashion is the second-most polluting industry on the planet.

And despite its flirtation with fashion via collaborations with runway names like Christophe Lemaire, formerly of Hermès, now designer of a namesake line and artistic director of Uniqlo U; Tomas Maier, the recently deposed Bottega Veneta designer who just did a limited-edition resort collection for Uniqlo; and Jonathan Anderson, the conceptual Briton who is also creative director of Loewe, and who has done two special collections for Uniqlo.

Raised in Padua, where his father had a factory that produced custom furniture for designer showrooms, he spent much of the aughts in a studio-cum-apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, designing a slew of U.S. stores for Bottega Veneta, watching with sadness as the romantically desiccated factories that had been colonized by painters, sculptors and artisans gave way to plate-glass high-rise condos with ''jam-rooms'' and fire pits.

Roughly 750 great heads of hair (among them, Anna Wintour's signature bob) boarded the ship, first for a silent auction mingled with the Intrepid's exhibitions: a Bottega Veneta duffel beckoned in front of a Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber, L.A. Eyeworks sunglasses sparkled beside a North American FJ-3 Fury, and a set of Jo Malone candles with a wool and alpaca throw promised comfort beneath a giant propeller.

FROM PEN: How Princess Kate Is Changing the Royal Parenting Rules For more details from Serena Williams' epic bridal shower, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday Before heading out on Sunday, the group — all dressed in yellow — enjoyed a private brunch and paint party by Bottle & Bottega Miami and soaked up some sun on the venue's private beach (a new members-only beach club will be open this summer).

This year, things have played out a little differently, though, as evidenced by the cacophony of colors that have overtaken our Instagram feeds (and, incidentally, our online shopping carts.) We saw it first on the runways, where hot pink dominated at Valentino, Hermès, and Marni; carrot orange was all the rage at Max Mara, Givenchy, and Bottega Veneta; and cobalt blue was all the rage at Pringle of Scotland, Rochas, and Salvatore Ferragamo.

Armed with a depth of inventory far exceeding their competition and the benefit of longevity in the game, James implemented a three-layer system of checks and balances that draws on everything from AI technology to good, old-fashioned human expertise to create an exacting verification process that is applied to handbags from a select list of 16 top-tier luxury brands, including Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, Goyard, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Saint Laurent.

On the other hand, if you wanted to go long on a bag stock, it turns out that Bottega Veneta is hovering at around 30 percent of its full price (Prada, Fendi and Valentino are close to 40 percent) If you wanted to play the market, thus, you could buy a few vintage BV bags cheaply, betting that other people would see they weren't selling for much and stop bringing them to market, which would make them relatively rare, which would raise the price — which would mean you could sell high.

One of the perennial breast-beating questions in fashion — along with why drop-crotch pants keep making a comeback even though everyone hates them — is why no conglomerate has arisen to rival the French behemoths Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton (owner of Vuitton, Givenchy, Céline, Pucci and Fendi, among others) and Kering (Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, etc.), or the Swiss watch and jewelry giant Richemont (Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, and so on — and a few clothing names like Chloé and Alaïa).
