Bottega Veneta makes luxury wonderfully peculiar for fall 2026. Photographed by Chris Rhodes, Leon Dame brings his idiosyncratic physicality to the House’s latest campaign. The German model disappears into oversized shearling coats, totes supersized Intrecciato bags, and reclines in black tailoring.

Louise Trotter’s vision takes Leon from an ordinary kitchen to the historic streets of Venice, placing bold silhouettes against everyday surroundings. With woven leather scaled to compete with the man carrying it, Bottega Veneta gives its man permission to be strange, overdressed, and entirely comfortable with the attention.
