Hand-Blown Glass, Ostrich Feathers, and Thigh-High Boots: Bottega Veneta Salon 02 is Here

Hand-Blown Glass, Ostrich Feathers, and Thigh-High Boots: Bottega Veneta Salon 02 is Here

Bottega's Fall/Winter 2021 collection marks a moment of detailed sophistication and mystical creativity for the label.

This is the new Bottega Veneta.

In the masterful hands of Creative Director Daniel Lee, this season's Fall/Winter collection is marked by a unique combination of the label's traditionally imaginative pieces with an added element of fresh sophistication.

Following its secret show format from Spring/Summer 2021, Bottega Veneta's runway was held privately at Berlin's Berghain nightclub last April. Captured by Tyrone Lebon on a dreamy film lens, Salon 02 is meant to be feel centered, sexy, and evocative.

In hopes of combining comfortability and the bringing to life of one's imagination, Salon 02 includes a mix of materials from worn leather, lurex yarn, and glass dresses hand-blown by Venetian craftsmen. The high-shine materials and crystal details in contrast with the worn and stretched textiles represent the evolution of the brand. Inspired by a fusing of bold shapes and delicate detail, the Salon 02 Collection is the physical extension of Daniel Lee's imagination.
