Rocky explains the "creative trifecta" behind the viral moment and his role in Bottega Veneta's latest campaign.
ASAP Rocky and Bottega Veneta have ingeniously harnessed the paparazzi for a groundbreaking campaign, heralded as a "creative trifecta."
On Monday, Rocky divulged the avant-garde strategy to fans through a passionate Instagram post, stating, "Throughout history, there has always been a funny relationship between photographers and celebrities." He delved into the complexities of the paparazzi-celebrity dynamic, touching on issues of rights, photo usage, and the tabloid industry's hustle. Rocky emphasized the disconnection between famous personalities and the photographers who chronicle their lives. While some celebrities call the paparazzi on themselves, others may engage confrontationally. However, Rocky, among the few, doesn't mind, with the condition that they capture the flattering angles.
According to Rocky, the collaboration with Bottega Veneta aims to "bridge that gap" by leveraging his paparazzi attention to showcase new creations from the renowned Italian luxury house. This project, as Rocky clarified, transcends a typical campaign; it is a "creative trifecta" masterminded by Bottega Veneta's Matthieu Blazy, himself, and the accomplished tabloid-style photographers involved. Formally, these captivating images are part of Bottega Veneta's Pre-Spring 2024 campaign. Take a closer look below to witness this innovative intersection of fashion, celebrity, and paparazzi artistry.
