Fashion’s game of musical chairs continues!
Louise Trotter has been appointed the creative director of Bottega Veneta, succeeding Matthieu Blazy, who leaves the Italian brand after three years at the helm. Trotter will officially join the brand in January.
In a statement, Trotter wrote: “I am deeply honoured to join Bottega Veneta as creative director. The house’s storied legacy of artistry and innovation is truly inspiring, and I am excited to contribute to its future and celebrate its timeless vision.”
The British designer revealed earlier today she was leaving Carven, after joining the French heritage house in 2023. Before this, she was the creative director of Lacoste for five years after a nine-year stint at Joseph.
“Louise brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to Bottega Veneta’s tradition of bold creativity and unparalleled excellence,” writes Francesca Bellettini, Kering deputy CEO in charge of brand development. “She is the ideal creative talent to carry forward, alongside Leo Rongone and the Bottega Veneta team, the remarkable journey initiated with Matthieu Blazy, to whom I extend my heartfelt gratitude for his visionary creativity.”
Massive congratulations Louise!
