Actor Jacob Elordi appears in a new fashion campaign for Bottega Veneta, photographed by the renowned 93-year-old artist Duane Michals. This collaboration highlights the brand's ongoing connection with the art world.
The photoshoot took place in Duane Michals’s Gramercy Park living room, where black-and-white images show Elordi surrounded by flowers, feathers, tree branches, a distorting mirror, and other props that reflect Michals’s surreal style.
Titled What Are Dreams, the campaign features a short behind-the-scenes film released alongside the photographs. In the film, Elordi, who became Bottega Veneta’s brand ambassador in 2024, sits in a rocking chair and reads a poem written by Michals.
“It is our enigmatic fate that we must dream in time and wait,”
The poem is recited softly by Elordi as piano music plays in the background.
