Although predominantly recognized as an Italian high fashion house with the finest leather pieces, Bottega Veneta is also a dedicated art fiend whose previous collaborations feature the works of Ryan McGinley, Annie Leibovitz, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, and the like. This time the luxury label has chosen to hold hands with Juergen Teller for its Fall/Winter 2015 ad campaign.

A renown German artist and fashion photographer, Teller’s portfolio includes photos of young pink-haired Kate Moss, Yves Saint Laurent’s infamous smile, and David Hockney’s oh so coolly smoking a cigarette. In the latest project, Teller photographs models Anna Cleveland and Freddy Drabble dressed in Bottega Veneta’s exquisitely vintage-esque Fall 2015 collection in Carlo Mollino’s—only one of Italy’s most influential mid- 20th century designers—home turned into museum in Turin, Italy. The campaign will be a part of the label’s brand new book, “Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration,” which curates its advertising portfolio since 2002, and will be available in October.
