Fragile though the state of the world may be, Matthieu Blazy, the creative director of Bottega Veneta, is finding comfort in the concept of rebirth. “These are the flowers that bloom after the earth is burnt—they give a sense of hope,” he wrote in the notes for the brand’s winter 2024 show. “They come back stronger than ever. Here, elegance is resilience.”
It’s a theme he hammered home on the runway, from the clothes (think scorched colors and singed motifs) to the sets, which featured adaptations of Le Corbusier’s iconic LC14 Tabouret Cabanon seat. The latest in Bottega Veneta’s recurring collaborations with Cassina, each box featured a bespoke charred finish, as if history were reemerging from the ashes.
