A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING BOTTEGA VENETA — THE SPECTRE OF PHOEBE PHILO
Trotter was clearly tasked with continuation, not disruption, hence we can see Blazy and, most importantly, Lee - who proven to be the real deal for that fashion house if second consecutive creative director after him cannot let its own voice be heard without their predecessor echo. The collection is a mixture of well known and overplayed thropes, exercise in minimalism and "philo-isms" rather than new direction. Can't blame them, fashion wise Kering hangs on that BV thread. Probably 5-7 decent silhouettes, menswear overlooked, accessories the weakest in years.
