Bally‘s Spring 2025 menswear collection masterfully blends Swiss precision with avant-garde flair. Creative Director Simone Bellotti continues to push boundaries, presenting a lineup that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Unveiled at Milan’s historic San Simpliciano Basilica, the collection showcases Bellotti’s evolving vision for the brand. Inspired by Dadaist aesthetics, particularly Hugo Ball’s iconic 1916 costume, Bellotti infuses the garments with sculptural elements and unexpected silhouettes.
Standout pieces include tailored suits and trenches reimagined with cocooning shapes and operatic volumes. Leather jackets and shirts feature rounded sleeves that frame the neck in a nod to Ball’s cylindrical costume. This artistic influence extends to accessories, with belt buckles and handbag straps inspired by antique hammered shoehorns.

Bellotti’s commitment to Bally’s Swiss heritage shines through in subtle details. Metallic accents reminiscent of cowbells adorn several pieces, while knitwear textures evoke the rugged beauty of Alpine landscapes. The color palette is inspired by springtime mountain flora, with faded rose prints on fine cashmere knits adding a touch of romance.
Footwear, a cornerstone of Bally’s heritage, gets a fresh update. The new Glendale style features a slender platform heel, while classic derbies and Mary Jane brogues are embellished with bright saddle studs. For the more daring, punk-inspired spiked sandals make a bold statement.
