Actor and Artist Debuts as Designer with Timeless Travel Line
Bally has unveiled its first travel collection, created in collaboration with Academy Award-winning actor and artist Adrien Brody. Making his debut as a designer, Brody has crafted a cohesive and timeless collection for the historic fashion house.
Brody, known for his acclaimed film performances and his work as a painter, brings a deep appreciation for the creative arts to this new role. In addition to designing the collection, Brody directed and co-produced a video for Bally’s channels, encapsulating the ethos and intent behind the travel collection. In the video, Brody provides the voiceover, offering his perspective on global travel:
Life’s journey. We all strive to reach the destination, but it’s the road we travel that enables us to arrive with a sense of purpose. We should dress for the adventure.”
The collection is designed to be timeless, seasonless, resilient, and adaptable for travel to any destination. Drawing inspiration from Bally’s archives, Brody incorporated a variety of elements, styles, and silhouettes. The outerwear features fine wools, leathers, and shearlings, with essential silhouettes in peacoats, aviator, and bomber styles. Comfortable pieces include cashmere and silk separates, wool and jersey items, and luxurious yet practical accessories focusing on dynamic bags such as holdalls and backpacks. Sharp tailoring is complemented by crisp shirting, dress shoes, and boots, including rugged biker boots and clean tennis sneakers.
This collection aims to create a “kit”-inspired wardrobe for the modern traveler, combining elegance and practicality. The pieces are designed for those who move through the world with curiosity and a pursuit of culture.
The collection is now available online and in select Bally boutiques worldwide, including Zurich, Milan, New York, and Tokyo Ginza, as well as in multi-brand stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Luisaviaroma.
