The Kering-owned Italian label said Friday it will show its upcoming Spring/Summer 2022 collection in Detroit, Michigan on October 21. The plan is to have an in-person audience, though that will depend on Covid-19 guidance at the time, the company said.
The event will be Bottega’s third show since the pandemic hit, prompting a pivot away from its traditional slot at Milan fashion week. Instead, the company has hosted shows in London and Berlin with limited in-person audiences. Its upcoming show is called Salon 03 Detroit.
For its previous Salon shows Bottega has tightly controlled content. It banned attendees of it October 2020 show in London from revealing what they saw until the collection was made public in November.
The sharp fall in the yen, combined with a number of premium brands not adjusting their prices to reflect the change, has created a rare opportunity to grab luxe goods at a discount.
Fashion’s presence at Milan Design Week grew even bigger this year. Savvy activations by brands including Hermès, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Loewe and Prada showed how Salone has become a ‘critical petri dish for dalliances between design and fashion,’ Dan Thawley reports.
The Hood By Air co-founder’s ready-to-wear capsule for the Paris-based perfume and fashion house will be timed to coincide with the Met Gala in New York.
Revenues fell on a reported basis, confirming sector-wide fears that luxury demand would continue to slow.
