SMODA | OSCAR CALLEJA

Child's Play: Óscar Calleja Shoots Bottega Veneta for S Moda • For S Moda, Óscar Calleja places Bottega Veneta bags inside children's drawings. Crayon rainbows, cardboard houses, cut-out flowers. The intrecciato weave, one of fashion's most recognisable textures, sits beside felt-tip skies without a hint of irony. It works because Calleja commits to it entirely. The bags are not mocked or diminished. If anything, the naivety of the drawings makes the craft of the leather feel more remarkable by contrast. Luxury seen through a child's eye. Serious work made to look effortless.
