Bottega Veneta’s S/S25 collection is Matthieu Blazy’s playful farewell

More like a send-off, Matthieu Blazy’s final offering for the house is a collection that blends elegance and childlike wonder.

Unveiled on February 4, Bottega’s Spring/Summer ’25 reimagines power dressing, not with rigid suits or stark minimalism, but with fluid silhouettes, oversized tailoring, and unexpected playfulness. It’s confident, yet carefree. Bold, yet soft. A collection that invites wearers to rediscover joy in everyday dressing.

But perhaps the most intriguing element of the collection isn’t just the clothes, it’s the unexpected, fantastical details woven into the campaign. The Ark, a limited-edition series of animal-shaped beanbag seats, makes an appearance, inspired by the classic Sacco chair. Leather-crafted creatures lounge alongside models draped in fluid tailoring, as if the line between fashion and childhood nostalgia has delightfully blurred.

More than just a visual spectacle, the collection is a love letter to curiosity, like a reminder that dressing up isn’t just about looking powerful, it’s about feeling it. And sometimes, that power lies in the ability to play, to wonder, and to embrace the adventure in the everyday.

It’s like Matthieu’s one last whimsical wink before the page turns.
