BAL HARBOUR 43
When it comes to fashion, the 1980 movie American Gigolo might be best known for Richard Gere's slick Armani wardrobe. But there was another
Italian luxury brand that made a cameo in the film, Bottega Veneta, in the form of a chic clutch bag in its signature intrecciato leather weave, which
Lauren Hutton's character paired with a wardrobe of chic blouses and drapey trenchcoats. To celebrate its 50th anniversary—as well as creative director
Tomas Maier's 15th anniversary—the fashion brand went back to this understated look with a new version of the bag (in "Gigolò Red," of course), which
Hutton herself carried down the runway back in October.
