Louise Trotter - Designer, Creative Director of Bottega Veneta

[perhydrol]

I actually wonder what’s going to happen with Bottega Veneta under Trotter’s direction. With Blazy, it was fairly easy to predict since he has always been obsessed with craftsmanship and couture silhouettes. Louise, on the other hand, is a skilled designer who is capable of working within different contexts quite well, but I’m pretty sure her Carven accessories wouldn’t appeal to BV’s customers—and that’s what sells the most at the brand. That said, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for her. At least it’s not an obvious choice, and it might turn out to be a wonderful journey.

Phoebe coats made of intrecciato leather in 3,2,1...

another pseudo empty modern exercise vomit disguised as fashion i just went to see her work and ig because i never noticed her work before

i feel the whole slew of new fashion appointments became a long season of emily in paris with all these made up brands and creative directors as extra´s in a netflix tv show , where they just have to seamly look like something that resembles a real fashion brand or designers but can't be named in the show due to copyrights or whatever.

End of an era at Bottega.

I am sure she is a lovely and charming person, but Trotter's Carven looks like diluted Jil Sander by the Meier's, which itself was a diluted Old Celine. Confused as to how her appointment makes sense for a brand like Bottega Veneta?

Don't even get me started on her menswear "vision"...

You can bet it will be “dilluted” 🤣🤣🤣

I went to have a look at her Ins account for the first time and her Carven just looks like another Philo brand! I guess they are going to revive Philo's Celine at BV.

Pinault should have asked Phoebe to ditch her own label for BV lamo
Get the OG

I predict Marie-Adam Leenaert at Carven. Looking back at Trotter's last collection, it would seem to me as the most logical choice in terms of continuity

Exactly. Just another Proenza Schouler copycat nothingness.

And i assume she will keep working with Suzanne Koller as her latest Carven collections...

ps: i'm surprised Carven have 1 million followers on ig...

Well, a boring designer loves themselves some boring stylist. Suzanne Koller fits the bill!

At least get OG Camilla Nickerson

 

[proseccotabis]

She’s such a bore.. zzzzzzzz

this will sound horriblé, but from what we've seen at Lacoste and Carven... i feel that Trotter's work lacks that va va voom, charisma...

R.I.P BOTTEGA, could she do menswear tho ? Her Carven is okayish but for a growing label like BV, you need an all rounder like Riccardo Tisci or Pilati to keep the tourch burning !

let these brands die sorry for people i know that work there but ciao !!!! basta just more landfill merch

i have a suspicion that her BV will be a sad copy paste of the Row.. i mean i hope im wrong

Lacoste?!?! Is that eve considered fashion?!? What a sad world we live in if Lacoste is a reference for anything but a tshirt one goes to gym in to sweat.

You're not wrong. Her Carven was already a diluted version of The Row, so...

JUNE 2023 VS JULY 2024

That’s my issue with her. Her Carven felt The Row bis. Like she did not even try to hide it.

I still think Ilaria Icardi would have been better.
