"…Exciting news for Bottega Veneta enthusiasts, as the brand reveals its latest Fanzine collection, a masterpiece in its own right and a true collector's item. This series of books beautifully captures the creativity of the brand’s latest collection, meticulously crafted under the visionary direction of Matthieu Blazy…"

Bottega Veneta’s design prowess has never been in question, yet it is the creativity, spirit of collaboration, and exchange that form the core of the brand's identity which consistently leaves a lasting impression on those who witness or engage with it. These very narratives are what the Fanzine series offers to its readers, while simultaneously celebrating the ideas and inspirations behind Matthieu Blazy’s latest exquisite collection.

The production of this book was not the work of any one individual. Rather, it is the result of a collaborative effort between Blazy, the brand, and a diverse group of artists and photographers. These include Alec Soth, Vytautas Kumza, and collage artist Judy Bowman. Readers are invited to indulge in a visually captivating campaign, shot in the striking landscapes of Utah and Nevada. In addition to this, the Fanzine provides a glimpse behind the scenes of the campaign’s shoot, along with imagery that evokes memories of On the Rocks, the installation art presented at the recent Milan Design Week.

Moreover, the Fanzine edition includes a set of exclusive postcards, showcasing atmospheric scenes from Utah and Nevada, along with an embroidered patch that narrates local folklore surrounding extraterrestrial life in those very regions.

This limited-edition book collection is presented in a drawer-style box, decorated with a woodgrain pattern, mirroring the charred wood textures from the set of the Winter 2024 collection show. As with other Fanzine editions from Bottega Veneta, this collection will be available at selected Bottega Veneta boutiques globally.
