New creative direction for Bottega Veneta
18/06/2018
The announcement comes just a few days after the brand revealed Tomas Maier would be leaving after more than 15 years at the company.
François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of parent company Kering, said Mr Maier’s “high-level creative demands” had been central to the success of Bottega Veneta.
His replacement, Mr Lee, is a graduate of Central Saint Martins in London. He was most recently director of ready-to-wear design at Céline. Prior to that he worked at Balenciaga and Donna Karan.
Claus Dietrich Lahrs, CEO of Bottega Veneta, said: "Daniel Lee has a deep understanding of the House’s current challenges both in terms of creation and development. He will bring to Bottega Veneta a new and distinctive creative language that will continue building the House's success based on the ambitious foundations already developed over recent years."
