Jing Daily calls the brand ‘Kering’s Crown’. Better yet and following high praise — China calls Bottega Veneta Kering’s ‘golden child’. Venice is a deeply symbolic city for Anne — the only city where she’s slept until noon.
Trotter’s October 2025 runway debut resonated deeply in the hearts and minds of Chinese consumers, drawing over 130 million Weibo views and widespread acclaim. “Quiet luxury can be expressive” was the prime sentiment that rippled across Chinese social media platforms, where fashion critics like @Pekaboom praised Trotter’s poetic modernity, writes JD.

/Aisle 9 Celine Cleanup: Hedi Slimane Did Not Take 4-5 Years to Deliver His Vision
In a recent discussion about why Jonathan Anderson should be given the same 4-5 years to deliver results at Dior, that Hedi Slimane took at Celine, AOC just sighed as we got out the mop and bucket and headed for Aisle 9. “No way,” Anne mumbled as she gave the bucket a good kick in exasperation.
