Set against the backdrop of Milan's Torre Velasca, the runway show emphasized the collection's themes by contrasting the city's architectural formality with its expressive designs. Anchored in the German terms "Leistung" and "Aufführung," both translate to "performance" but with distinct nuances; "Leistung" pertains to achievement, while "Aufführung" relates to self-expression. This duality reflects a harmonious blend of Swiss precision and formality with wild, untamed elements, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and fluidity. Simone Bellotti's designs feature sculptural silhouettes juxtaposing tailored precision with textural richness. The collection showcases a variety of materials and textures, embodying the tension between the sober and the wild.
Simone Bellotti, who assumed the role of Bally's creative director in May 2023 and has been instrumental in revitalizing the brand by blending Swiss heritage with contemporary design, especially in this short time, has been on March 10 officially appointed as the new creative director of Jil Sander, where is expected to infuse his distinct talent and vision, aligning with the brand's minimalist ethos while introducing fresh perspectives. His debut collection for the brand will be revealed during the upcoming Milan Fashion Week in September 2025.
