Bally Resort 2026 Is a Timeless Act
The collection is the first to come after Simone Bellotti’s exit from the brand’s helm.
Summary
- Bally has unveiled its Resort 2026 collection.
- The line is the first to come after Simone Bellotti’s departure from the brand in March.
Bally is currently without a creative director, following the departure of designer Simone Bellotti, who switched over to Jil Sander in March. The Swiss label has yet to name a new leader, but in the meantime, the brand’s design team is cooking up collections on their own. Enter Resort 2026, Bally’s first collection in its post-Bellotti era.
The line, in the brand’s words, “crafts a dialogue between legacy and innovation with a contemporary expression of elegance.” That translates to a fine bunch of sharp formals, clean coats, smart shirting, and shiny leathers — many of which remix the brand’s best hits — for men and women.
On a color palette fusing cream, deep navy, black, and warm brown, the collection boasts the sophisticated sensibilities for the office-goer and the jet-setter alike. Standout silhouettes include perforated bomber jackets, posh trench coats, logomanic silk sets, leather shorts, and cute knit sweaters featuring illustrations of squirrels.
Bally’s Beckett and East Tote bags return in new buttery textiles, while archival sneaker models, like the Competition model (first introduced in 1983), make a comeback for the contemporary. Overall, this collection is a nod to Bally’s rich archives, a reminder of the House’s timeless codes in anticipation of its next era.
