‘A LONG ACT OF LOVE’, AN INTERVIEW BY D LA REPUBBLICA WITH LOUISE TROTTER In the latest issue of D La Repubblica, 21 March 2026, Creative Director Louise Trotter shares a personal perspective on her vision for Bottega Veneta, one rooted in craft, emotion, and the idea of creating meaningful, collective experiences through design. Described as a “long act of love,” the creative process emerges as both intimate and enduring, shaping a form of luxury that is built to last and to be shared. "Creating a collection is a long, exhausting labour of love: it's a bit like giving birth, if you'll allow the comparison. But afterwards, once you've presented it to the world and it no longer belongs to you, you feel free to move forward.” The issue also features a cover story on longtime friend of the house and ambassador Julianne Moore, photographed by Sean Thomas, reinforcing a narrative of continuity, authenticity, and lasting relationships.
