Bottega Veneta Summer 2025

Following a teaser posted by Matthieu Blazy and show invites in the form of leather bracelets, the Bottega Veneta Summer 25 just debuted in Milan with guests such as Kendall Jenner, ASAP Rocky, and others in attendance. The expectations regarding the upcoming collection were divided, leaving people to wonder if Matthieu can keep up the pace of his quality work. With that being said, this collection is not just another seasonal release, it represents a significant milestone in Blazy’s career defining how we will later remember Bottega Veneta by Matthieu Blazy.

Upon entry, guests are met with a dim and warm setting with the room being lit by a few hanging light bulbs, where they ar sat in big leather teddy bears on the floor in anticipation of the show. Cozy and sweet, as in sat on a rug in the living room the show is about to start.

After a short, loving voice memo of what seems to be childhood memories, the runway lights up and the models start walking.

Classy, yet still deceiving in appearance, showcasing how nuanced, different, and changing adult life can be. Some of the standout items remain Matthieu's signature leather pieces, but also previously unseen motifs like a ukulele case and a bag that's a barred metal cage. Many looks look unironed/wrinkled/slightly damaged adding carelessness but also emphasizing the fast pace of life.

As said in the show: "The forest's riches are for everybody" suggests that the beauty of fashion should be shared or accessible to everyone. Following this sentiment as a final expression, we can all collectively appreciate the effort put into this collection.
