Only five days after <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bottega Veneta announced the surprising exit of creative director Daniel Lee (with only mere speculation of what was to come next), Kering has announced that Matthieu Blazy is assuming the role of creative director at Bottega Veneta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last week&#8217;s news came as a complete shock after Lee served three successful years at the helm of the Italian luxury fashion house.\u00a0<\/span>However, Blazy&#8217;s appointment as creative director doesn&#8217;t come as much of a shock to the fashion world. Blazy&#8217;s resume includes design roles at mega fashion houses including Raf Simons, Maison Martin Margiela, C\u00e9line, and of course, Bottega Veneta where he served as Lee&#8217;s right-hand man as ready-to-wear design director.\u00a0 Kering is known for (and has had great success, see: Alessandro Michele at Gucci) with moving up designers from behind the scenes, so naturally Blazy&#8217;s promotion was in his line of sight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMatthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented individual, whom I am proud and excited to entrust with the creative helm of our luxury House,&#8221; says the CEO of Bottega Veneta Leo Rongone. &#8220;Bottega Veneta has always been equated with signature craftsmanship and distinctive creativity. Matthieu\u2019s appointment will further enhance the modern relevance of our brand and accelerate our growth while preserving the values that are at the core of Bottega Veneta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very solid foundations, specific codes, and unique identity of Bottega Veneta enable us to nurture great ambitions for the future of this luxury House.&#8221; says Fran\u00e7ois-Henri Pinault, Chairman &amp; CEO of Kering &#8220;I am confident that Matthieu Blazy\u2019s wealth of experience and broad cultural background will allow him to bring his creative impetus to the task of carrying on the legacy of Bottega Veneta.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All eyes will be kept peeled this upcoming Fall-Winter 22 Fashion week as Matthieu Blazy will present his first collection for Bottega Veneta in February 2022. We can only hope that everyone&#8217;s favorite\u00a0 &#8220;Bottega Green&#8221; will be carried on in Blazy&#8217;s Bottega Veneta era.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29043,"featured_media":40143,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) -
