‘Kate Moss was my first Google search; she’s the first photo to be printed on the family printer,’ says Matthieu Blazy, creative director of Bottega Veneta, whose teenage adoration of the British supermodel provides the basis of a new book from the Italian house.
The book arrives as part of a series of publications ‘capturing the motion and emotions’ of the house’s Summer 2023 collection, which was shown in Milan last September. The first two volumes document the ‘ideation, approach and process’ of Italian designer Gaetano Pesce’s custom set for the show alongside unseen images of the collection; this, the third, serves as a celebration of Moss, who walked in the show.
