Bottega Veneta Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2019

Opinions clearly differed right after Daniel Lee’s debut runway show for Bottega Veneta. And whether you liked his work or not, there’s no denying his gut to make a bold statement. He sent out statement making stiff and heavy looks. Like the brown skirt and black blouse Cyrielle Lalande wore. Or the motor bike look (incl. chunky boots) sported by Chiara Frizzera. Clothes that didn’t necessarily look the most comfy but sure made some sort of statement. Lee himself described the collection as “a celebration of freedom, self-expression and sensuality.” And these looks definitely spoke of freedom. Or at least about a designer who took the liberty to create whatever he had in his mind, wearability and fashion house codes aside. Long sleeves, knee length coats, skirts and dresses and a lot of chest on display painted the picture. As sunny as the show area was, as dark were the looks (besides that turquoise skirt and that red dress). And we’re already curious for Lee’s follow up collection.
