In true Bottega Veneta fashion, the house unveils its “Winter Solstice” campaign—eschewing the typical holiday tropes for something profoundly more evocative. Ever the maverick, Bottega continues to defy industry conventions, carving its own path while remaining at the forefront of fashion discourse.
Photographers Louise and Maria Thornfeldt delve deep into the brand’s essence of intimate portraiture. Set within the textured elegance of a modernist Milanese residence, the imagery is a masterclass in harnessing natural light. The Thornfeldts capture the fleeting glow of the solstice, a poignant nod to the passage of time juxtaposed against Bottega’s timeless craftsmanship.
A diverse ensemble of models—including Annabel Van Tilborg, Lina Zhang, and Hedi Ben Tekaya—bring the collection to life, their presence a testament to the brand’s global perspective. Their movements echo the fluidity of the designs, highlighting a balance between focus and playfulness that has become a Bottega signature.
Under the visionary direction of Matthieu Blazy, the campaign transcends mere seasonal presentation. It’s a subtle rebellion against the expected, a reminder that in a world saturated with noise, sometimes the quietest voices resonate the loudest. Bottega Veneta’s “Winter Solstice” isn’t just a campaign—it’s a statement on enduring artistry in the face of fleeting moments.
