Matthieu Blazy Succeeds Daniel Lee at Bottega Veneta

We can’t say we’re surprised, but we’re certainly happy to learn that Matthieu Blazy will take on the creative director role at Bottega Veneta, following Daniel Lee‘s surprise departure last week. Announced on Instagram by Kering as well as by Blazy himself, he’ll present his first collection in February 2022. “Matthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented […]

Who Will Succeed Daniel Lee at Bottega Veneta?

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since we learned that Daniel Lee would be leaving Bottega Veneta after three years at the label, but everyone is already speculating who could potentially succeed him – and where he will go next. Shortly after the initial announcement, WWD published a piece that revealed that Lee was (most likely) […]

Daniel Lee Leaves Bottega Veneta In Surprise Move

In a surprise move, Daniel Lee and Bottega Veneta are parting ways after three years.

In a Surprise Move, Daniel Lee Exits Bottega Veneta

Nobody saw it coming, but Daniel Lee is departing from Bottega Veneta.

The news was announced by Kering, the luxury conglomerate that owns the Italian fashion brand. In a statement, the group said, “Bottega Veneta and Daniel Lee are announcing their joint decision to end their collaboration. He brought new energy to the house and greatly contributed to the new momentum that Bottega Veneta is enjoying today.”

Indeed, when Lee was named as the new creative director of the brand in 2018, the fashion brand was hardly in the spotlight like it is today. Lee himself was relatively unknown, although the British designer was noted for being old Céline’s director of ready-to-wear, working with the revered Phoebe Philo.

Naturally, he brought plenty of Philo-isms to Bottega Veneta, which attracted customers who missed Philo's design sensibilities (her clothing was described as intelligent, chic and sexy all at once) after her departure from CĂŠline.

Creating a new Bottega Veneta

Under Lee's helm, Bottega Veneta became a favourite amongst It-girls. The brand built a huge presence on Instagram largely through Lee's accessories, even when he deleted its social media accounts. Lee refreshed the brand's signature intrecciato weave, creating oversized versions for handbags that became a hit, on top of introducing new styles like the padded Cassette and the Pouch.

He was also a key force behind the square-toe trend, having introduced a variety of stylish mules and heels that likewise, became must-haves for the fashionable crowd. He also managed to sell more practical styles like the Puddle Boots, which was just recently launched in knee-high styles and more colours.

During his tenure, Lee bagged four prizes at the 2019 British Fashion Awards, including designer of the year and brand of the year.

Where is Daniel Lee headed next?

In a statement, Lee shared, “My time at Bottega Veneta has been an incredible experience. I am grateful to have worked with an exceptional and talented team and I am forever thankful to everyone who was part of creating our vision. Thank you to Francois-Henri Pinault for his support, and for the opportunity to be part of Bottega Veneta’s story."

Bottega Veneta is expected to announce Lee's successor soon. As for where the British designer may be headed, perhaps we could look again at Phoebe Philo, who was revealed to be launching her eponymous luxury fashion brand at LVMH. Perhaps Lee could be rejoining the designer that helped refine his minimalist aesthetic?

Stay tuned for news on the designer's next move.

Big Bag Energy Is Spring’s Super-Sized Accessory Trend

Size matters — when it comes to your accessories game, at least. It seems fashion is finally overthrowing mini bag supremacy, a trend that Jacquemus‘ diminutive Le Chiquito sparked, and offering oversized hold-alls as a successor. Big bags first began creeping into our sartorial consciousness at Spring/Summer 2022 Fashion Month. In New York, Peter Do presented crescent-shaped cross-bodies that […]
