Louise Trotter dresses a man who treats expensive clothes as simply clothes, and Bottega Veneta’s spring 2026 campaign with Juergen Teller makes that position impossible to argue with. Model Saul Symon turns up beside a headless garden statue in an oversized leather trench draped over a chalk-stripe suit, a yellow Intrecciato woven bag held at his side with the looseness of someone running an errand.

In another frame, Saul stands among bare rose canes in an overshirt cut to the knee over matching shorts, a total look so committed to a single tone that color stops being a conversation entirely.
Chinese model Bai takes the opposite approach in volume: a white dress shirt with wide double cuffs, fastened with small green knot cufflinks, framed against a Venetian stone column with nothing else in the frame making demands.
The silhouettes across both men run generous, shoulders soft, hems long, and trousers breaking heavily at the ankle. Teller shoots all of it against Venice’s overgrown gardens and weathered architecture, settings that treat the clothes as things that belong to a life in progress.
For more from the Italian house, Bottega Veneta summer 2026 takes the season further.
