BBC World Service - In the Studio, Daniel Lee: Revitalising a fashion house

British fashion designer, Daniel Lee on reinventing classic Italian brand, Bottega Veneta

British fashion designer, Daniel Lee on reinventing classic Italian brand, Bottega Veneta, and putting on a fashion show in the midst of a global pandemic.

The young British-born designer Daniel Lee was appointed Creative Director of the classic Italian fashion house, Bottega Veneta, in 2018 with the task of reinventing the brand. Since then he’s picked up numerous awards and several of his designs have already become “cult” items.

John Wilson joins the VIP audience – along with music stars Stormzy and Kanye West - to watch the launch of Daniel Lee’s latest Bottega Veneta collection held in London this Autumn. The designer discusses the brand’s trademark of woven leather handbags and shoes, what it takes to create some of the world’s most sought after garments and accessories, and the challenges of putting on a show in the midst of a global pandemic.

Presented and Produced by John Wilson for the BBC World Service
