DESIGNER DEBUTS
The first look at new releases that will shape the future for two fashion houses Before his Bottega Veneta debut on the A/W ’19 runway in Milan next month, newly appointed Creative Director Daniel Lee shares a sneak peek into his vision for the house. The Maxi Cabat with 4cm-wide strips is his reinterpretation of the house’s Intrecciato craftsmanship, while The Pouch is an oversized clutch that deviates from the boxy house icon, The Knot minaudière. Ahead of his first runway show this month, Kris Van Assche issues his Spring/summer 2019 capsule as the new Artistic Director for Berluti. The brand’s emblematic 18thcentury manuscript motif “Scritto” is now translated as a graphic motif on casual wear and bags. A new “Berluti 1895 Paris” signature is also introduced.
