Since its founding in 1966, Bottega Veneta has been synonymous with outstanding craftsmanship and quality. More recently, the Italian fashion house has established itself as a partner of the Arts through its collaborations with world-renowned artists. This season, Bottega Veneta’s FW12 campaign was shot in Amsterdam by acclaimed photographer Erwin Olaf. The Dutch artist brings a new and rich dimension to a collection that expresses power and sophistication through a palette of somber colors and precise and calibrated proportions. In a style that is his defining strength, Olaf transcends the medium of photography and explores our deepest emotions and psychological states.
