When I worked as creative director at Bottega Veneta in the 1990s and early 2000s with Stuart Vevers, Giles Deacon and Edward Buchanan, we were all obsessed with one image. It was a particular scene with Lauren Hutton carrying a Bottega clutch bag in one of our favourite early-80s male-escort dramas, American Gigolo. Lauren is heaven in it. Richard Gere is heaven, too. The Debbie Harry soundtrack is heaven. When, years later, she came to model at a Bottega show I worked on with creative director at the time, Tomas Maier, she was still as stunning as she ever was. Lauren can look amazing in anything, yet always chooses the right thing and doesn’t really care either way. There is something so nonchalant about her beauty.
