Bottega Veneta has been using their woven leather forever and continues to use this trademark look of theirs, and we have to admit, we also do not get sick of it. Their ever growing clothing collection is stronger every season and after all there is a reason, why it is the fastest growing brand in the Gucci group. Thomas Maier has been doing an excellent job expanding the collection and turning a leather manufacturer into a high fashion lifestyle brand.

The footwear line has also grown and offers this season lots of sneaker styles. Here we show you their new Trainer, which comes with a black woven upper and a contrasting sole, making for an interesting summer look. They are now available at Browns.

Khoda from Reza Dolatabadi on Vimeo.

What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!
