Titled "Issue 01," the fashion house revealed its first-ever digital journal yesterday, an operation led by<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bottega-veneta-unveils-first-campaign-by-daniel-lee-2019">&nbsp;Daniel Lee</a>. Inside&mdash;so to speak&mdash;the creative director has included friends and family of the Italian brand, as well as a few unexpected names faces, including Missy Elliot and Derek Blanks. Elsewhere content ranges from a series of sketches and videos of Barbara Hulanicki, the fashion designer and founder of the iconic Biba; street style images of Mariacarla Boscono wearing Bottega Veneta's newest collection by Jonathan Frantini; and other artiwork by Tyler Mitchell and Walter Pfeiffer.
