To the uninitiated, Kate Moss looked downright dressed down on the Bottega Veneta runway on September 24 at Milan Fashion Week, in a pair of loose jeans and a plaid shirt. But that is the genius of designer Matthieu Blazy, who replayed a trick from his first season, showing leather pants that replicate the look of jeans.


Every piece in Blazy’s second-year collection was strong.

The intarsia knitwear incorporated ice blue.

Leather shift dresses and jackets offered an unexpected fold.

Then there was the shredded leather skirts and dresses, and sheer dresses embellished with velvety floral appliqués.

At Bottega Veneta, leather is king.

Bags include beautifully crafted fishing bags that fit neatly on the body.

They were shown in flat leather or a basket weave, while bucket bags were worn flung over the shoulder.
Blazy collaborated with Italian architect and designer Gaetano Pesce on the sculptural resin runway and 400 unique chairs, some with hand drawings, used for guests at the show and destined for Design Miami.
