The Fall/Winter 2019 presentation of fashion house Bottega Veneta was full of stylish men's knitwear that exhibited some degree of experimentalism in silhouette construction. The collection was debuted during Milan Fashion Week and it displayed Daniel Lee's initiation as the creative director of the high fashion label.
The color palette is kept minimalist, dark and subdued, with occasional hits of turquoise and orange that offer a cheerful contrast. The tailoring of the stylish men's knitwear is quite sophisticated and a focal point of Bottega Veneta's Fall/Winter 2019 collection. The chic sweaters and blazers boast long sleeves that completely envelop the hand, some baggy designs, as well as some interesting cut-outs. With the range, Daniel Lee attempts to display a "celebration of freedom, self-expression, and sensuality."
