CRUISIN’: Bottega Veneta has completed its first-ever cruise campaign, with Tomas Maier, creative director at the luxury goods house, choosing Todd Eberle to shoot model Colette in a residential building in New York designed by Jean Nouvel. The campaign is set to launch worldwide in December titles. “Eberle explores the nuance and subtlety of architecture,” said Maier. “He brought a unique understanding of line and color to the images, balancing abstract ideas with the individuality of the woman.” Eberle is a photographer at large for Vanity Fair. The Bottega Veneta styles in the ads emphasize bold color blocks, visible stitching and soft, yet graphic, shapes that are in tune with the geometric accessories in brightly colored leathers.

COMME DES GARCONS IN PRINT: Comme des Garçons is taking a look back over its diverse visual campaigns at the label’s Dover Street Market store in London. The fashion house has plastered images of its past campaigns, taken from as far back as 1969, when Rei Kawakubo founded the label, on a series of cubes and tunnels that have been placed throughout the artsy retail emporium. The exhibition, called “Printed Matter,” includes photographs by Peter Lindbergh, a work by artists Gilbert and George and images by the Argentinian artists’ collective Mondongo, which makes painterly collages from materials such as cookies and Plasticine, and have worked with Comme des Garçons on their most recent visual campaigns. The exhibition, which runs through Nov. 22, also includes images taken from Six magazine, which Comme des Garçons produced in the late Eighties and early Nineties.
