The Autumn Winter 2017 collection evokes the mood of a gentleman’s club in 1970s New York City. Gambling, cigar smoke, whisky and card games... An era of David Bowie and Mick Jagger... Bianca Jagger’s black choker with a diamond heart...
A contrasting collection of opulent evening dress and urban sportswear.
SHOES
Women’s: The Janelle family expands - the flat babouche style is delivered in new colours and two heeled versions (30mm and 85mm) together with a sportier slip-on sneaker - all featuring the archive inspired buckle. The Ascona lace-up sneaker is available in polka-dot and leopard print.
Men’s: The Bally hiking boot is joined by a more urban style, including ankle strap and Bally stripe detail, alongside a chicer version with rubber injected leather sole. Bally’s classic Heimberg and Ultra sneakers come in new derivations and heritage dress shoes become hybrid.
BAGS
Women’s: Bally’s Sommet is adorned with checks that mirror the ready-to-wear collection while the B Turn is decorated with badges, animal print and Swarovski crystals. Rich velvet and tartan backpacks are completed with the signature B Turn lock.
There is a new top-handle bag featuring a double zip and detachable shoulder strap alongside a tote featuring the Janelle buckle to match the shoes. The Suzy bag is a focus.
Men’s: Backpacks are covered with ‘Ballymania’ print (an archive inspired patch detail recalling Bally’s origins).
