Trotter’s Second Bottega Veneta Show Draws Praise for Crafted Clarity in Milan

Critics hail its disciplined craft, a standout of Milan’s close.

Overview

  • Presented on Feb. 28 inside Bottega Veneta’s Palazzo San Fedele headquarters, the show unfolded on a vivid red carpet flanked by 431 sculptural chairs by British designer Max Lamb.
  • The collection was officially framed as a dialogue between brutalism and sensuality, expressed through restrained tailoring, curved lines and richly tactile materials.
  • Footwear focused on texture innovation, including fuzzy heels, puffy fur‑strap mules, silver spike‑covered ballet flats and snakeskin prints.
  • Trotter advanced house codes with the return of bouncy oversized coats and expanded Intrecciato weaving across slouchy bags and ready‑to‑wear.
  • Reviews singled out the collection’s craft, proportion and material integrity, positioning it as a Milan highlight as attention shifts to Paris Fashion Week.
