Bottega Veneta: Life on the A-List

Posted by: Rachel Hulin Posted date: March 24, 2008 | 1 Comment

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.

Sam Taylor-Wood, for Bottega Veneta, Spring/Summer 2008:

Sam Taylor-Wood, Self Portrait Suspended I, 2004

Annie Leibovitz for Bottega Veneta (Fall 2007):

Tina Barney for Bottega Veneta (Spring 2007):

Stephen Shore for Bottega Veneta (Spring 2006):

Anyone have a tear of the 2005 Philip-Lorca diCorcia Bottega Veneta ad?

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.
