After a season of arresting ads by Araki, Bottega Veneta is switching up its direction. For the first time, Tomas Maier worked with Juergen Teller on a Bottega Veneta ad campaign, shot on location at the home of famed designer Carlo Mollino in Turin, Italy.
“I am very happy with how Juergen Teller turned his eye to capture a distinctive and sophisticated angle,” Maier wrote Style.com of the collaboration for Fall 2015. “He managed to interpret the mood of the collection into powerful effect.” The resulting photographs, which star Anna Cleveland and Freddy Drabble in the brand’s dynamic and vibrant Fall collections, will appear not only in magazines this fall, but also in the upcoming Rizzoli tome Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration, out this October. (That book will also feature works by Ryan McGinley, David Sims, Annie Leibovitz, Nan Goldin, Steven Meisel, and more.)
