Bally’s fall-winter 2025 collection balances precision with rebellion, crafting a wardrobe where discipline meets artistic defiance.
Simone Bellotti anchors his vision in the German dichotomy of “Leistung” (measurable work) and “Aufführung” (artistic expression), shaping garments that challenge routine while embracing self-expression.
Tailoring, once a rigid symbol of structure, is subverted with unexpected elements. Coats stretch into elongated silhouettes with surgical precision, trenches belt at the waist in a nod to industrial rigor, and cropped knits hug the torso, cinched with harness-like leather accents.
Textures add another layer of contradiction—sleek black leather coats glisten under the light, their rigid form recalling armor, while soft shearling disrupts the austerity of suits. Ribbed knit beanies offer a utilitarian, almost monastic restraint, tempering the collection’s sharper edges.
Bellotti draws inspiration from Swiss artist Luciano Castelli, whose 1970s performances blurred the line between work and theater. That same interplay unfolds in Bally’s fall-winter 2025 collection, where garments become tools of expression rather than mere uniform.
Altogether, Bally’s latest collection is about a reimagining of the everyday as a stage, an assertion of individuality in the face of routine.
