BALLY RESORT 2017

BALLY RESORT 2017

Design Director, Pablo Coppola of Swiss house Bally, delivered a kitsch, retro inspired Resort 17 collection. Characterful combinations oozed with vivacity resulting in flirtatious, pitch perfect style.

A polished, cropped, forest green leather jacket featured clean lines. The wardrobe staple was teamed to a bold black and white cabana stripe tee which was worn tucked into a high waisted, bubblegum pink, pleated, swirling skirt which fell elegantly under the knee. A dainty, satin bow neck tie in the shade of pumpkin adorned the neck. Rounded, wayfarer style, geek glasses, mocha suede embroidered Panama hat, oversized fishnets, emerald patent quilted shoulder bag and platform, canary yellow, burnt toffee and tomato sandals concluded the look.

Colour blocking reigned supreme on a shrunken, jade, precision cut blazer. A seventies derived floral print blouse was worn buttoned to the neck and starred in hues of chocolate, latte and banana. Sleek, subtle, linen, flare trousers were ignited in a striking shade of azure. A signature monogram fuchsia belt was punctuated by a gold capital letter 'B' centrepiece. A magenta, suede, Panama hat featured a fire engine red wide hat band. Rectangular, luminescent milky frame sunglasses worked effortlessly against the black lenses.

A playful ivory, lace, blouse featured vermilion cuffs, collar and placket. A glossy, apple green, textured, a-line leather mini skirt grazed the thighs. Monochromatic, over the knee, flat, exotic python boots exuded grandeur. Bally's signature racing stripe graced a canvas strap mini satchel. Colourful studs adorned the onyx handbag, gold hardware brimmed with luxury.

Jubilance dominated on an electric pink, lacquered, trench coat. The coat was married to a kale green collared polo tee which was bedecked with white and ink pinstripes. Languid, 7/8 matching trousers screamed of modern contemporary connotations. Black leather Mary Janes complete with gold stud detail were the footwear of choice. A neat, monochromatic, ladylike, boxy satchel was carried with nonchalance. Tiered gold bauble earrings and pearl encrusted wayfarers added the bling factor.

A watermelon, quilted puffa jacket was bedecked with candy pink fur collar and cuffs. A demure, two tonal dress comprised of ivory bow round neck tie, salmon bust panelling and a grommet infested raven suede belt to attenuate the waist. A lattice racing stripe, woven bag in the shade of oxblood and white came with refined chain handle and silver hardware. Tough luxe, suede pumps were highlighted by eyelet ankle straps which hardened the feminine silhouette. A Bally emblazoned beanie complete with lavender flecked pom pom and geek chic glasses accessorised the casual cool factor.
