Lord Snowdon, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Robert Longo, Nan Goldin, Nick Knight, Philip-Lorca diCorcia… the list is long. Over the course of 14 years, the world's greatest photographers, often strangers to the fashion industry, have created seasonal advertising campaigns for Bottega Veneta.

The outcome of this project, launched in 2002 by Tomas Maier, Creative Director for the luxury label belonging to the Kering group, has now been made visible through a sumptuous book celebrating this string of creative collaborations.

The book 'Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration', by Tomas Maier, fiction author and essayist Daphne Merkin and fashion journalist Tim Blanks, is published by Rizzoli and will be available soon.
