I am confident that Matthieu Blazy\u2019s wealth of experience and broad cultural background will allow him to bring his creative impetus to the task of carrying on the legacy of Bottega Veneta.\"<\/p>\n<p>Bottega Veneta CEO Lee Rongone added: \u201cMatthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented individual, whom I am proud and excited to entrust with the creative helm of our luxury House. Bottega Veneta has always been equated with signature craftsmanship and distinctive creativity. <strong>Matthieu\u2019s appointment will further enhance the modern relevance of our brand and accelerate our growth,<\/strong> while preserving the values that are at the core of Bottega Veneta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>British-born Daniel Lee's departure was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-and-creative-chief-daniel-lee-part-ways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> announced last week,<\/span><\/a> much to the surprise of the market. Lee's next move is not yet known but speculation surrounds a potential return to work for his old boss Phoebe Philo, formerly of C\u00e9line, who is now setting up her own label with the support of LVMH. Some have even linked Lee to a potential move to Burberry, where Riccardo Tisci's position is being questioned in light of the imminent departure of his mentor and Burberry's CEO Marco Gobbetti. Gobbetti, who is bound for Salvatore Ferragamo, is to be replaced by Versace's British CEO Jonathan Akeroyd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":186722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10488,9763,6,20822],"tags":[10171,13181,10676,10046,10023],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bottega Veneta promotes Matthieu Blazy to role of creative director - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bottega Veneta has promoted from within to replace its outgoing creative director Daniel Lee, elevating RTW design director Matthieu Blazy to the role\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-promotes-matthieu-blazy-to-role-of-creative-director\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bottega Veneta promotes Matthieu Blazy to role of creative director - TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bottega Veneta has promoted from within to replace its outgoing creative director Daniel Lee, elevating RTW design director Matthieu Blazy to the role\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-promotes-matthieu-blazy-to-role-of-creative-director\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theindustryfashion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-11-16T07:17:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-11-16T19:43:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/550x750-CP-BV-nouveau-directeur.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"750\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"550\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-promotes-matthieu-blazy-to-role-of-creative-director\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-promotes-matthieu-blazy-to-role-of-creative-director\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lauretta Roberts\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#\/schema\/person\/85b04a16eba8c6cd7a9534c5a4262b89\"},\"headline\":\"Bottega Veneta promotes Matthieu Blazy to role of creative director\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-16T07:17:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-11-16T19:43:15+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/bottega-veneta-promotes-matthieu-blazy-to-role-of-creative-director\/\"},\"wordCount\":402,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Bottega Veneta\",\"Daniel Lee\",\"Francois-Henri Pinault\",\"Kering\",\"Luxury\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Brands &amp;
