Amid surging sales, Bottega Veneta needs to keep up the momentum without losing its discreet charm. CEO Bartolomeo Rongone talks exclusively to BoF about the reinvention of the Italian heritage brand and where it’s headed from here.

This strange season’s series of 'shows' made it clearer than ever: the value of New York Fashion Week is up for debate. While still important for some designers, others are opting out and not looking back.

The designer, whose bridal pieces are worn by India’s billionaire heiresses and Bollywood superstars, has built a luxury brand that’s set to generate $35 million in revenue in 2019. Now, he’s on a quest to tap the lucrative fine jewellery market and take his business global.

Carine Roitfeld, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexi Lubomirski, Bella and Gigi Hadid and other leaders from around the world celebrated the #BoF500 during New York Fashion Week.

Following the departure of brand co-founder Michelle Ochs, the designer is rebranding her 10-year-old label as Cushnie, introducing a new denim line and bolstering her bag offering.

The brand hopes to attract younger consumers with the introduction of a lower-priced fragrance line, launching exclusively with Sephora.

The surprise return of one of fashion’s most polarising yet commercially successful designers could double revenues at the LVMH-owned house. But will it alienate Céline loyalists?

BoF’s Colin McDowell shares his essential holiday reading list, from 'Schiaparelli and the Artists' to new retrospectives on Calvin Klein and Yves Saint Laurent.
