Bally’s Spring/Summer 2012  campaign transports us to a world of effortless luxury, set amidst the sparkling majesty of the Swiss lakes and the breathtaking alpine views that surround the elegant resort town of Gstaad.

Bearing all the hallmarks of Bally’s design excellence and modern timelessness, Spring/Summer 2012 has been designed by Creative Directors Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler to carry this Swiss luxury leather goods house into a new realm of urban luxury, gently contrasted through Roy’s lens by the striking lines of Bally’s contemporary design and the impact of nature.

Through the enchanting pastels and rich jewelled tones of Bally’s magnificent leather shoes, bags and ready-to-wear, with their finely crafted embellishments and motifs, the images evoke a sense of perfectly framed modern romance and sophisticated luxe that Bally affirms.
