BALLY CELEBRATES ITS NEWEST STORE DURING MILAN MEN’S WEEK
Bally’s new flagship lit up Milan in celebration of the ‘Bally Haus’ – the brand’s latest store location situated on Via Montenapoleone on Monday night.
Designed by Casper Mueller Kneer Architects and opened in September 2019, the store concept evolves across three-stories, honoring Swiss brand codes that recall Bally’s legacy and craftsmanship through the cultural appreciation of art, design, and nature.
Illustrating the interaction between architecture and the environment, a founding brand pillar, the celebration of the ‘Bally Haus’ amplified the seasonal narrative of ‘Graphic by Nature’, introduced with the spring/summer ‘20 collection presentation. As night descended, Bally’s installation, conceived by Stefan Beckman, featured a forest-like graphic which, projected in soft spring hues, transformed the exterior façade of the store. Inside, native Alpine flora lined the stairwells and corners, while floor-to-ceiling projections continued across internal walls and wooden-sapling silhouettes filled windows, all complemented by a sensory soundtrack that combined lyrics, beats, and birdsong.
The evening was attended by friends of the brand and notable guests including Italian supermodels, actors, media, and influencers.
