Bally U.S. flagship bows on Rodeo Drive
Swiss luxury brand Bally has given its longtime home on Rodeo Drive a high-level face-lift by collaborating with David Chipperfield Architects to bring the look and feel of its London flagship, which opened in October 2014, stateside for the first time. The 2,014-square-foot, two-story space can be hard to overlook because of a facade of oxblood-colored marble with ripples of white. Women’s accessories and ready-to-wear collections are on the first floor, and the men’s collection and obligatory VIP room are housed upstairs. Bally’s first U.S. flagship store, which officially opened its doors Feb. 19, is part of a U.S. expansion that will see new stores open in Miami and Hawaii by the end of the year with a New York flagship bowing in 2017. Bally, 340 N. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills.
