The Merits of Timeless Style ... Bally FW2014 Collection
Wait; there are glimpses of other style icons of
the late 60s and 70s too such as Diane Keaton and Lauren Hutton. The long pants
are so Hutton while the hat, the skirt and the blazers are indeed, Keaton’s.
Perhaps
due to the fact that the late Mrs Kennedy (later Onassis) and the other two are
known for their timeless personal styles that appeal to women of all
generations.
And perhaps, that sort of timelessness too works perfectly with Bally’s design DNA that spans over 160 years. Conceived by its new Creative Director Pablo Coppola, the ready-to-wear collection breathes the immaculate appeal of American fashion – elegant, minimal and most importantly, functional.

There’s only one dress in this collection – a velvety body-conscious black dress with three-quarter sleeves and worn with a leather belt of matching colour that could be worn from the office and straight to evening functions. The rest are ensembles dominated by both flared and straight pants.
As Bally is known for its impeccable leather craftsmanship heritage, the accessories are imbued with references from the 1970s. The shapes are polygonal; clean and simple with minimal hardware and sturdy construction. As for shoes, oxfords for her in light yet earthy tones as well as flats and pointed-toe high heeled pumps and leather boots add punch to the ready-to-wear pieces.
The puffer jacket looked light while denim trousers give the look some edge. In contrast, the shearing-lapelled jacket imparts a sense of rugged timelessness.
Menswear aside, the accessories seemed to impart greater impact than the clothes as the sizes of the carriers are big with ample space inside – perfect for men on the go.
The bags are crafted from lush materials with a variety of texture, just like the outerwear. Footwear varies from a pair of casual white sneakers to glossy leather monk shoes and oxfords. Throw on a scarf and a pair of shades; you are absolutely ready to go.
Bally fall/winter 2014 ready-to-wear and accessories will be available at Bally boutiques, select fine departmental stores and multi-brand boutiques starting this autumn.
