In 1956, Bally provided the Swiss Mt. Everest-Lhotse expedition team led by Albert Eggler with four custom-designed Bally footwear styles, which were donned by Fritz Luchsinger and Ernst Reiss in the landmark summiting of Lhotse. Bally also journeyed to South America with Lionel Terray in 1956, as well as Raymond Lambert in 1957, to discover the Cordillera Blanca and the Andes of Peru, respectively. Both of these rich, variegated landscapes served as foundational colors for Bally’s Autumn/Winter 2021 collection.
