Inspired by André's Beloved Vintage Bally Boots
André Saraiva, born in Sweden in 1971, is a graffiti artist who left his mark on street art history with the creation of his signature line-drawn character, "Mr. A," in 1988.
In late 2013, he held an exhibition in Stockholm titled "Back to Sweden," featuring unique paintings of his "Dream Concert" works. Beyond his artistic endeavors, he is also an active creative director, owning clubs, hotels, and restaurants in Paris, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, and Saint-Tropez.
André Saraiva / Artist
The inspiration for André came from his beloved Bally boots, which caught his eye while he was packing for a trip. Despite being from 1973, the boots still exude charm. Working with Bally's Design Director, Pablo Coppola, they researched and redesigned them, culminating in this collaboration. The collection features Bally's signature high-quality items, crafted with meticulous attention to materials and techniques, all adorned with the familiar "Mr. A" character.
This unique capsule collection, a fusion of André's playful, modern style and Pablo's innovative vision, is set to captivate many and elevate the brand's heritage.
A selection of items is already available for pre-sale at Bally's Ginza store and online in Japan. The full collection is scheduled to launch in late November.
