Bottega Veneta Daniel Lee FW21 coat – chenille tweed, animal print, size 40 IT

Bottega Veneta FW21 – Daniel Lee's final collection, a moment when his three-year era at the fashion house was in full bloom, only for him to announce his departure a few months later. This was the brief era during which Lee transformed Bottega from Tomas Maier's minimalist luxury into something entirely new: a cult-status brand, "Bottega Green" as the color of the season, intrecciato reimagined on a new scale, and the fashion crowd lining up for the Cassette and Pouch bags. Evening coat in chenille tweed – bouclé woven from chenille yarn, creating a dense, soft texture with a frayed surface. Abstract animal pattern: a motif that reads like an animal print interpreted in a tweed weave, in shades of green – precisely Lee's move where a classic code (tweed) is filtered through materials and patterns not typically found in classic tweed.
