Lara Menezes is fantastic! She has such a strong presence!
 
I believe it's shot by Alec Soth.

It's so dry. Like Blazy's Bottega. He really needs to hire someone else than his friend to take care of the brand's image...
 
The clothes are always very interesting but the ad campaigns are always lackluster despite the scenery. In this photograph, I do not like the model or her facial expression. Also, I think the styling looks quite dated.
 
I get the look, but the effort is like 'let's take some clothes and go make a campaign at the backyard'.

The full campaign is much nicer, love how it turned out as a group of shots.
 
Honestly, it's much, much better than what I expected from seeing only the first image. It's almost a flashback to the old 'Art of collaboration' campaigns of the Tomas Maier days. Perhaps a bit tame and at the same time slightly silly compared to Alec Soth's better works but in the end it does make sense to me as a whole and overall it does match the vibe of the collection.
 
Love seeing Imaan doing Bottega 🖤
 
I absolutely loathe it.

I hate this quirked up, funky, but humorless gallerista Celine-hangover aesthetic that will never end. Like wow…you’re so INTELLIGENT…you wear a chunky block-heeled mule.

There’s not a single item of clothing or an accessory here that looks flattering or desirable.
 
Seeing the full set leaves a better impression, though I think it's a bit stale. Many of the outfits also look very awkward and cumbersome, which to me is bit of a hard sell for S/S. A lot of the cuts just aren't as flattering nor convincing in static image which is how I also felt when seeing the runway images. In motion they're better, but still very heavy set on the body.

The pom-pom net is particularly (and still) heinous. Just why, Blazy?

Oh! I knew that octopus park which is nearby Shinagawa ward in Tokyo.
