Matthieu Blazy’s debut showed clothes you wanted to take, try, live in, and love
A reference, he said backstage, was “luxury in motion,” citing a 1913 sculpture by Umberto Boccioni,, as an inspiration. That figure, blurred and swirling as if captured in abstract motion, was evoked through those rustling layers, but also through curvilinear lines, cocoon-backed cabin coats and angular flared trousers cropped short above heavy platform boots. They had a dynamic, urgent energy.
There were subtler nods to Bottega’s heritage, imaginary but compelling and relevant: Bottega Veneta literally translates as ‘Venetian shop’, it was founded in Vicenza in 1966. The most famous Venetian fashion designer is Mariano Fortuny, who created pleated dresses in the 1900s – around the same time Boccioni crafted his bronze – which seem breathtakingly modern today.
The overall takeaway was the focus on the actuality of clothes – garments you wanted to take, try, live in, love. Blazy’s anchoring of Bottega Veneta in life. And that includes, honestly, building-sites, renovations, reworking. Life is never static. Clothes shouldn’t be either.
