Matthieu Blazy’s globe-trotting collection was gripping, transporting and often breathtaking.
, Matthieu Blazy has energized Bottega Veneta with a truly original design vision steeped in invention, storytelling, intensive craft and showmanship.
After a trilogy of collections rooted in Italy, Blazy flung open his imagination to the world, inspired by a line in one of his favorite books, “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac: “Are you going somewhere? Or are you just going?” Blazy’s cultural references were blurry, partly because many of them occur in multiple geographies and nations. For example, stretching Bottega’s signature Intrecciata technique into new realms, he asked artisans to reprise basket-weaving techniques employing strips of leather dyed and treated to faithfully approximate the look and feel of banana leaves, which are used throughout Asia, South America and also Southeast Asia.
