Simone Bellotti, creative director of Swiss luxury brand Bally, is reportedly set to step down. The news follows the brand’s acquisition by a company affiliated with Regent in August 2024 and the departure of CEO Nicolas Girotto in October 2024. Bellotti joined Bally in October 2022 and was appointed design director in May 2023. His first collection debuted at the September 2023 Milan Fashion Week, receiving widespread praise for its minimalist and elegant design. Prior to Bally, Bellotti spent 16 years at Gucci and held senior design roles at both Dolce & Gabbana and Bottega Veneta.
