Bottega Veneta: Life on the A-List

Ok, Tomas Maier, you're getting lazy. Did you borrow Sam Taylor-Wood's studio, or did you rebuild it to look exactly like the one in her personal work? Did you want instant name-recognition, because I certainly knew who took this picture the moment I saw the ad... but for a $3,000 handbag, I'd sort of appreciate more effort.

You are admirably A-list with your photographer choices, however. I bet you never go to Filene's basement.

Annie's photographs are the only ones that look interesting/beautiful enough for a luxury brand like BV..the others are ordinary and uninspired at best.
