Louise Trotter's Bottega Veneta premiere delves into the house's craftsmanship with looks that swirl

MILAN (AP) — Louise Trotter’s debut as creative director at Bottega Veneta on Saturday contained moments of fantasy most evident in the fringe that bounced on coats and swirled like shiny bristles on glimmering skirts and jackets.

Trotter, a British designer who joined Bottega Veneta in January , is one of four creative directors who made their hotly awaited debuts in Milan this season, following Demna at Gucci, Simone Bellotti at Jil Sander and Dario Vitale at Versace.
