Bottega Veneta cancels fashion show in Berlin
German fashion admirers won’t be able to see popular Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta new collection within the framework of the first Berlin Fashion Week because of the decision to cancel display. The reason of the decision became the 10th death anniversary of the legendary fashion designer Gianni Versace. On July, 15 – this very date was offered to Bottega Veneta by the management of the Berlin Fashion Week - Milan will gather all main representatives of the fashionable public, and hardly someone will want to choose Berlin to see a new collection of the Italian designers.
However the official version is to pay tribute to great designer. «We have decided not show the collection in Berlin as we respect memory of Gianni Versace, - declared Bottega Veneta’s creative director Thomas Mayer. – “Nobody has allowed us to change the schedule, that is why, to our regret, we had to refuse participation».
According to the organizer of the first Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin Massimo Redelli from IMG Fashion Europe agency, now they negotiate about the participation in Week of the other Fashion House with a world name.
