“Thanks Francois-Henri Pinault, Thank you Bartolomeo Rongone“. Laconic is the Instagram post from the brand new creative director of Bottega Veneta Matthieu Blazy, perhaps overwhelmed with emotion.
With a few words entrusted to the social network, the designer expressed his gratitude for such a prestigious appointment. Five days after the news of the separation between the maison and Daniel Lee, the brand of Kering Group he chose not to go too far in seeking a talent who could replace the British designer. Blazy entered the orbit of Bottega Veneta in June 2020 with the task of taking care of the ready-to-wear.
Born in Paris in 1984, Blazy graduated from La Cambre, the National Higher School of Visual Arts in Brussels. Of French and Belgian nationality, he lives between Antwerp and Milan. His fashion career began as a men’s stylist for Raf Simons and continued at Martin Margiela home to cure the line Artisanal and the collection ready to wear female. In 2014 he became a senior designer from Celine to switch between Calvin Klein from 2016 to 2019 once again alongside Raf Simons.
“Matthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented person to whom I am proud and enthusiastic to entrust the creative helm of our luxury maison” he declared Leo Rongone, CEO of Bottega Veneta «our brand has always been identified by unique craftsmanship and extraordinary creativity. Matthieu’s appointment will further strengthen the modern relevance of our brand and accelerate our growth, preserving the values ​​that are at the heart of Bottega Veneta ».
“The solid foundations, specific codes and unique identity of Bottega Veneta allow us to cultivate great ambitions for the future” he added Francois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of the Kering Group “I am confident that Matthieu Blazy’s great experience and broad cultural background will allow him to bring his creative momentum into the task of carrying on the legacy of Bottega Veneta”.
The new creative director is already at work and to see how his inspiration will reconcile with the nature of the maison we will not have to wait any longer: his first collection for Bottega Veneta will see the light in February 2022. Good luck!
