Bottega Veneta Boasts Its Pre-Fall 2026 Ad Campaign
Bottega Veneta has released its Pre-Fall 2026 ad campaign in Venice, which was photographed by Chris Rhodes under the creative direction of Louise Trotter. This editorial embraces an unfiltered and intimate perspective that incorporates everyday backdrops — from vintage wallpaper to terrazzo flooring — to bring the collection's craftsmanship into full focus.
Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall 2026 ad campaign unfolds through a continuous interplay between private and metropolitan settings, digital and analogue techniques, and day and night scenes. The imagery presents fragments of Venetian life that reflect a dynamic environment where heritage and contemporary expression continue to meet. The collection itself traces the evolution of Bottega Veneta designs under Trotter, featuring the Madison shoulder bag named after the brand's first New York store. This silhouette is reimagined in the original Intrecciato weave. Other pieces to note are the Barbara tote's modern silhouette and the Veneta's archival spirit presented in new seasonal hues and finishes.
