Bottega Veneta Biography – Bottega Veneta Wiki
Daniel Lee is an English fashion designer appointed as the creative director of the Italian luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta in June 2018. He was appointed by Kering to give a new incentive to the Italian luxury fashion house and develop its ready-to-wear collection. His agenda also included rebooting the men’s ready-to-wear collection and launching a home collection. On November 10, 2021, Bottega Veneta and Lee announced he would be leaving his post as creative director in a “joint decision to end their collaboration.”
Daniel Lee carried on with the team of artisans. He preserved Bottega Veneta’s emphasis on well-crafted, logoless, and simplicity-driven products. To give a new look to Bottega Veneta, he inflated the Intrecciato designs to capitalize on the brand’s most iconic features and infused more hedonism/desirability in the brand’s products. He designed the Pouch clutch bag which became the fastest-selling bag in the history of the brand. Harpers Bazaar commented: Bottega Veneta has become one of fashion’s most popular brands in 2019, thanks to its quiet, modern elegance reinterpreted by Lee. His transformation of Bottega Veneta is coined “New Bottega”. He was tagged “The Quiet Radical” by Vogue, and “fashion’s new wonder boy” by Harper’s Bazaar.
Since early April 2021, the Berlin police is investigating reports stemming from videos posted to several social media accounts that Bottega Veneta staged afterparties at the Soho House (club) without social distancing or masking. According to sources, “the event’s legality and hygiene concept is unclear” and “whether the afterparties were official Bottega Veneta events or not is unclear”
In 2012, he left Donna Karan for Céline in Paris, where he started as a member of the design team and eventually became the director of ready-to-wear design.
He first attended the Dixons City Academy, and then graduated from the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (master’s degree) where he was tutored by Louise Wilson. He was an intern at Maison Margiela and Balenciaga (under the direction of Nicolas Ghesquiere) and landed a position at Donna Karan in New York after his graduation in 2010.
In 2019 he was awarded four Fashion Awards; Brand of the Year, Womenswear Designer of the Year, Accessories Designer of the Year, and Designer of the Year.
