Bottega Veneta erased most of its social media presence in 2021 and now the luxury brand has launched a Bottega Veneta app that introduces new content and features. The green-hued app is described as "a platform for creative encounters" and it gives users the ability to turn anything green within a phone’s camera frame into a green screen. In these green screens, exclusive content from the luxury brand is shared.
The release of this curious app comes just days before the first collection of new creative director Matthieu Blazy is set to debut at Milan Fashion Week. Additionally, the Bottega Veneta app will be used for streaming the event.
This new app can be downloaded for free via the App Store.
