Bally has unveiled its first travel collection created in collaboration with Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody. Making his debut as a designer, the American actor beloved by Wes Anderson has crafted a collection of timeless essentials inspired by his travels. In addition to conceiving and designing the items in the collection, Brody also wrote and directed a captivating video that will be shared on Bally's channels. This video eloquently conveys the philosophy and intent behind the travel collection, offering an inspiring representation of global life. In the video, Adrien Brody's voice-over reflects his unique view of the world: “Life is a journey. We tend to focus on the destination, but it’s the path we take that gives purpose to our travels. We should dress for the adventure.” This perspective is intricately woven into the collection, designed to be timeless and seasonless, yet resilient and versatile, perfect for travelers exploring any country or city in the world.
Brody drew inspiration from Bally's vast archives, incorporating a selection of the brand's iconic elements, styles, and silhouettes. The outerwear features clean and essential lines, crafted from the finest wools, leathers, and shearlings. The range includes styles from pea coats to aviators and bombers. Luxurious cashmere and silk provide maximum comfort in both single pieces and coordinated outfits, complemented by sumptuous wool and jersey items. The accessories blend luxury and practicality, offering a selection that includes travel bags and backpacks finished in the highest quality leather. The collection also boasts a tailored section characterized by vibrant and lively shirts. Elegant shoes and ankle boots stand out, alongside robust yet stylish biker boots and tennis sneakers with clean designs and crepe soles. This wardrobe is inspired by the modern traveler's kit, featuring an effortlessly sophisticated look for those who explore the world with curiosity and seek authentic cultural experiences.
