KNOT BOTTEGA VENETA | MAY 2026



I DESIGNED A FOOTWEAR COLLECTION INSPIRED BY THE SIGNATURE KNOT AND WEAVING DETAILS OF BOTTEGA VENETA. THROUGH RESEARCH INTO THE BRAND’S CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ICONIC LEATHER TECHNIQUES, I EXPLORED THE USE OF CORDS, KNOTS, AND WOVEN STRUCTURES TO CREATE A SERIES OF CONTEMPORARY SHOE DESIGNS WITH A REFINED YET PLAYFUL AESTHETIC.

STARTING FROM HAND SKETCHES AND TECHNICAL DRAWINGS, I DEVELOPED DIGITAL RENDERS FOR MULTIPLE STYLES INCLUDING BALLERINAS, MOCCASINS, SANDALS, AND MULES. THE COLLECTION COMBINES SCULPTURAL FORMS WITH FUNCTIONAL DESIGN, TRANSLATING BOTTEGA VENETA’S DISTINCTIVE VISUAL LANGUAGE INTO MODERN FOOTWEAR WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG FOCUS ON MATERIALITY, PROPORTION, AND DETAIL.
