Curling arrived in Switzerland in the late 19th century, introduced by the Scots, who had been “curling” stones across the ice since the 1700s. Often described as a giant game of boules on ice, curling has become a beloved winter pastime for both men and women. It also boasts its own icon — the BALLY Curling Boot — a house staple since it first adorned the feet of the Swiss Olympic team at Cortina d’Ampezzo in 1956. This distinctive après-ski style, with its cocooning rubber sole and Arctic Grip®-reinforced toe, has evolved over the decades into a stylish, versatile, and durable shoe for all seasons.
Reimagining the classic curling shoe as part of a fully realized Ready-to-Wear and accessories capsule, the collection draws inspiration from the dynamic clash between Swiss alpine tradition and cowboy and varsity aesthetics. In an irreverent twist, LA native Rhuigi Villaseñor infuses the playful energy of the American West into winter sportswear, creating a transatlantic dialogue of bold decoration and innovative materiality.
From transitional layers to high-season winter essentials, BALLY CURLING channels the opulent spirit of après-ski. Mix-and-match ensembles blend Western accents with nostalgic mountaineering motifs, crafted from luxurious natural materials like cashmere, shearling, and suede. The collection’s palette transitions seamlessly from earthy autumnal tones to icy pastels, perfect for winter adventures under the sun.
