Ever since its founding in 1966, Bottega Veneta has emphasized the importance of collective vision to the label. Architect Gaetano Pesce’s unseen photographs and creations for the brand capture the energy of the Summer 2023 collection, captured in two volumes. The third volume is on creative director Matthieu Blazy’s long-standing love for Kate Moss.
“Kate Moss was my first Google search. She’s the first photo to be printed on the family printer.”
The director spoke to his obsession with collecting imagery of the model. “If I was doing my “Kate Moss”, it meant I was in the middle of collecting pictures. This hobby became a sort of education,” said Blazy. “This fanzine is a tribute to Kate and the pages of a binder that defined my coming of age. She was my first.”
The Summer 2023 fanzine offers a collection of collages and collected images from Blazy’s adolescence, inviting you straight into the world of Bottega Veneta.
