Bottega Veneta presents Fall 2026 with a campaign photographed in Venice by British photographer Chris Rhodes. Louise Trotter leads the creative direction, guiding a visual story that looks closely at the city through interiors, streets, and fragments of daily life. The images avoid polished distance and instead create an immediate view of Venice, placing the collection inside rooms and urban scenes that feel lived in, observed, and close to the body.

Vintage wallpaper, terrazzo flooring, and domestic details frame the clothes and accessories with a quiet directness. These elements give the collection a grounded setting and bring attention to texture, construction, and surface. The campaign does not treat Venice as a postcard image. It looks for the city in smaller details, from private spaces to metropolitan movement, building a visual rhythm that shifts across time, light, and atmosphere.
The campaign explores Venice through a dialogue between the private and the public, the digital and the analogue, day and night. Bottega Veneta uses these contrasts to show a city in motion, shaped by routine, memory, and contemporary life. The images follow fragments of existence rather than a fixed narrative, allowing the collection to appear as part of the environment.
Fall 2026 also traces the development of Bottega Veneta designs under Trotter. The collection places particular attention on the house’s bags, including the Madison shoulder bag. Named after the first Bottega Veneta store in New York, the Madison returns in the original Intrecciato weave.
The Barbara tote also appears in the campaign, presented through its modern silhouette and updated seasonal treatment. Its shape adds structure to the collection, while new hues and finishes bring a fresh reading to the design. The Veneta enters the season with an archival reference, translated through updated colors and surfaces. These pieces show how Bottega Veneta continues to work through its signature forms.
The Fall 2026 campaign features models Malick Bodian, Leon Dame, Sihana Shalaj, Karmay Ngai, and Aline Van Velzen. Bottega Veneta Fall 2026 closes on a restrained vision of Venice, where Louise Trotter’s direction and Chris Rhodes’ photography place the collection within the city’s private rhythm.
