Bottega Veneta releases a teaser for its Winter 2026 runway show under the creative direction of Louise Trotter.

MILAN FASHION WEEK
Trotter assumed the creative director role after Matthieu Blazy departed to lead Chanel. Her appointment introduced new leadership within Kering’s portfolio, placing her among the few women directing a major luxury house within the group. Before joining Bottega Veneta, she led Carven and held creative leadership roles at Lacoste and Joseph.
Louise Trotter presented her first Bottega Veneta collection for Summer 2026, drawing from the workshop culture that has defined the House since 1966. Trotter described the Bottega as a workshop shaped by history and human presence. The collection drew from Venice, New York, and Milan, reflecting the places connected to the brand’s identity. She also referenced Laura Braggion, who served as the House’s first female creative lead during the late twentieth century.
The Winter 2026 show takes place during Milan Fashion Week, where designers across the schedule present collections shaped by evolving creative leadership. The event situates Bottega Veneta within a broader moment of change across the industry.
With the Winter 2026 runway scheduled for February 28 in Milan, Bottega Veneta prepares to present its next collection under Louise Trotter’s creative direction. The newly released teaser draws attention to the upcoming show and builds anticipation around her next runway, as industry observers look to see how her vision continues to develop at the House during Milan Fashion Week.
