COLLECTIONS

“The world in a small room :
the premise is simple – the collection is
about a contrast of characters on the go,
invited to travel through Gaetano Pesce’s
landscape. Here, two distinct worlds are
juxtaposed, while our journey of craft in
motion and quiet power continues.”
Matthieu Blazy

COME STAI? GAETANO PESCE

KEYWORDS 4 IN BOTTEGA VENETA 2023 S/S COLLECTION–

MINIMAL AND WEARABLE LUXURY WEAR

BOTTEGA VENETA'S 2023 S/S COLLECTION, PLAYED BY MATTHIEU BLAZY, HAS
BEEN UNVEILED. HERE ARE FOUR KEYWORDS FOR HIS SECOND COLLECTION,
WHICH IS INTERTWINED WITH THE TIMES AND TECHNOLOGIES.

01  

GAETANO PESCE

The stage of the show was designed by GAETANO PESCE,
a legendary Italian architect and designer based in New York.
Gaetano Pechet poured resin on the stage, carved colorful
patterns on the floor, and placed 400 differently designed
resin chairs. This chair adds to the meaning of a collection
that respects human diversity.

“Perverse Banality”

02

IT'S not DENIM.
      IT'S denim.

FROM THE FIRST TO SIXTH, THE COSTUMES
ON THE SHOW WERE LIKE THOSE SEEN IN
STREET PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE 1990S.
DENIM PANTS, FLANNEL SHIRTS,
AND POLO T-SHIRTS WERE USED.

THE MATERIAL OF THIS ITEM, WHICH LOOKED
LIKE A NORMAL NORMCORE STYLE, WAS
ACTUALLY PRINTED LEATHER, NOT DENIM
AND COTTON. IT'S PRINTED ON LEATHER
WITH SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE DENIM.

KATE MOSS'S FLANNEL SHIRT WAS MADE BY
LAYERING 12 PRINTS. THROUGH BOTTEGA
VENETA'S SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES,
MATIYU INTRODUCED A HIGHER LEVEL
OF NORMCORE FASHION.

03

THE
CRAFTSMANSHIP
OF THE NEW
BOTTEGA.

DIVERSITY AND
CULTURAL AMBIGUITY

A TRIBUTE TO THE DIVERSITY
OF MANKIND

The theme of this collection was a tribute to
human diversity. Diversity was also seen in
the runway cast, and the models' ages and
nationalities were all wide.

On top of that, Mathieu
has a cultural ambiguity
in his costume.
More precisely, it was a
collection where the reference
of the clothes was unknown.
His approach in the fashion
industry, which is obsessed
with where the "source of
reference" is, has inspired
a sense of liberation.

MATTHIEU BLAZY

"THE IDEA of EXPRESSING
VARIOUS CHARACTERS and
PUTTING THEM IN GAETANO
PESSE'S
LANDSCAPE".

QUIET POWER

(private pleasure)

INSTEAD OF SPECTACULAR ATTRACTIONS,
MATIYU FOCUSED ON THE PRIVATE
PLEASURE FELT BY THE WEARER,
THAT IS, THE "QUIET POWER."

Items that can be encountered in everyday life, such as bags, fur coats, check shirts,
and tank tops that are casually worn over the shoulders, to items that are witty and
practical with ultra-realistic live-action prints on flexible nubuck.
The show was simply full of Italian glamour.

2023 S/S BOTTEGA VENETA
COLLECTION FINALE

Born in Paris in 1984, Patijung Blaze has built a solid
career, starting with Raf Simmons Manswear, followed
by Margiela, Celine of Pivipillo, and Calvin Klein of Raf
Simmons. At Bottega Veneta, he was Daniel Lee's right
-hand man, design director. He said, "Botega Veneta is
essentially based on practicality. As it is a brand that
started as a leather product, it has technology and
expertise that considers the movement or movement
of daily life, especially in bags. Practicality is a style
that goes beyond timeless fashion and is part of the
quiet power," he said.

“WHEN YOUR
OWN INITIALS
ARE ENOUGH”

Bottega Veneta of LOGOLESS has been loved a lot.
A lot of people for a long time.

“당신의 이니셜만으로도 충분하다”

ACTOR YOO AH-IN
WHO ATTENDED
THE COLLECTION

On this day, Yoo Ah-in caught the
attention of reporters around the
world by matching the 2022 winter
collection look with a white tank
top, showing a comfortable,
chic and luxurious style.

“Come Stai?”
gaetano pesce

This collection expresses the exploration by clothes, characters, producers and wearers,
and features Italian-specific elegance and craftsmanship that has evolved more than the
first collection of Matiu Blazy, which was introduced in February.
