There has been much to say about creative director Daniel Lee and his installment behind the helms of Italian Maison Bottega Veneta. From his iconic and tastefully provocative campaigns with English photographer Tyrone Lebon to the era of the new idol with the Knot, Cassette and Pouch bag, Bottega Veneta has managed to reimagine fashion into new contemporary landscapes.
