Bottega Veneta, part of the global Luxury group Kering, has appointed Daniel Lee as its creative director. An experienced designer, Lee was most recently director of Ready-to-Wear Design at Céline. Lee, a British national, is a graduate of the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. He also worked at Maison Margiela, Balenciaga and Donna Karan.

Claus Dietrich Lahrs, CEO of Bottega Veneta, said: "Daniel Lee has a deep understanding of the House’s current challenges both in terms of creation and development. He will bring to Bottega Veneta a new and distinctive creative language that will continue building the House's success based on the ambitious foundations already developed over recent years."

Lee, aged 32, will take charge of the new assignment on July 1, 2018.

Lee said: "I’m both honoured and excited to continue the legacy that has been created at Bottega Veneta over the last five decades. Maintaining the ingrained codes of the House, craftsmanship, quality and sophistication, I look forward to evolving what has gone before, while contributing a new perspective and modernity."

By entrusting the entire creative direction of Bottega Veneta to Lee, a talented young designer, Kering continues to place bold and daring creativity at the centre of its strategy, the company said. (SV)
