Bally recently marked the opening of two flagship domestic stores, one in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, the other at the new Tokyu Plaza building in Ginza, Japan, with events attended by celebrities.
Designed by David Chipperfield Architects, the new Bally Beverly Hills flagship store features a 12m high red marble façade which refers to the brand’s signature red and white train spotting stripe.
Occupying 614sq m over two floors, including a private rooftop area, the store features a ground floor dedicated to women’s accessories and ready-to-wear collections; a first floor home to a VIP room for an exclusive shopping experience; and a Gentleman’s Corner that offers Made to Order and Shoe Care services and Men’s Ready to Wear Collection.
