The Modern Day Uniform

Bally’s spring/summer 2022 collection, titled Art of Utility, reimagines sartorial sportswear with freedom of movement and ease for the postpandemic future. This tailored, modern-day uniform urges us to select fewer pieces at a higher quality level, to be worn in intuitive and natural ways to create an intimate connection between an article of clothing and its wearer. Craftmanship plays a big role with sophisticated techniques and artisanal details such as leather-woven pattern, intricate quilting and whip stitching. Drawing inspiration from workwear, whether an artist’s smock or utilitarian jackets, the collection makes the ordinary extraordinary, honouring the value of the handmade.
