Irresistible Bottega Veneta

Imagine Venice... extraordinary details, romantic settings, timeless beauty... In my opinion the new Fall/Winter campaign from Bottega Veneta is outstanding. Shot by the renowned photographer Robert Polidori the campaign captures give a mysterious look on beauty, in every way possible. As models Isabeli Fontana and Nicolas Ripoli couldn't have been chosen better. About Polidori creative director Thomas Maier says: "His attention to detail creates layers of meaning that extend beyond the formal beauty of his images ".

These two images (look at those shoes!) drew me to look for more, finding the movie below where the motives for the collaboration with Polidori are explained and where you get a beautiful view behind the scenes of the shoot that took place in Venice.  You can read more interesting details and information about the campaign on the website of Bottega Veneta, where a special section is dedicated to this beautiful campaign. Also there you can let your eyes gaze over the other gorgeous campaign photos.

  11. That top shot is just stunning, the line of her body, the leg, the perfect tufed stool, the dreamy painterly lighting...wow! And those shoes--this is the first time in a long time that I have coveted something from Bottega. I'm going to watch the video now. Thank you for a sensory cupcake this morning!
