Bottega Veneta presents Fall 2026 with a campaign shot in Venice by a British photographer Chris Rhodes. Louise Trotter leads the creative direction, guiding a visual story that looks closely at the city through interiors, streets and bits of everyday life. The images eschew glossy distance and instead create an immediate view of Venice, placing the collection within rooms and urban scenes that feel alive, observed and close to the body.
Vintage wallpaper, terrazzo flooring and domestic details frame the clothes and accessories with a quiet immediacy. These elements give the collection a grounded setting and pay attention to texture, construction and surface. The campaign does not treat Venice as a postcard image. He searches the city in smaller details, from private spaces to metropolitan traffic, building a visual rhythm that shifts in time, light and atmosphere.
The campaign explores Venice through a dialogue between private and public, digital and analogue, day and night. Bottega Veneta uses these contrasts to show a city in motion, shaped by routine, memory and modern life. The images follow fragments of existence rather than a fixed narrative, allowing the collection to appear as part of the environment.
Autumn 2026 also sees the development of Bottega Veneta designs under Trotter. The collection pays special attention to the house’s bags, including Madison shoulder bag. Named after the first Bottega Veneta store in New York, Madison returns to the original Intrecciato weave.
THE Barbara The tote also features in the campaign, presented through its modern silhouette and updated seasonal treatment. Its shape adds structure to the collection, while new shades and finishes bring a fresh reading to the design. THE Venice enters the season with an archival reference, translated through updated colors and surfaces. These pieces show how Bottega Veneta continues to work through its signatures.
The Fall 2026 campaign features models Malik Bodian, Leon Dame, Sihana Shalaj, Karmay Ngaiand Aline Van Velzen. Bottega Veneta Fall 2026 closes with an understated vision of Venice, where direction by Louise Trotter and photography by Chris Rhodes place the collection at the private pace of the city.
