Life is measured by so much more than material possessions. After all, money can’t buy happiness and it doesn’t grow on trees, especially these days. In light of the difficult economic environment globally, we are reminded and inspired by the resilient spirit of people around the world.

Perhaps forever changed, but hopeful to return to a new sense of normality in our lives, we value even more our family and friends. The values of authenticity, honesty, and the appreciation for all that we have, help us find contentment and bring us peace of mind.

The Hush Puppies Spring 2010 Collection is designed for everyone who is looking for one less thing to worry about; a trusted brand with a rich heritage, unparalleled comfort and unique style.

The Spring Collection embodies the easy-going and authentic spirit of Hush Puppies that has given people all over the world something to smile about for over 50 years.

OUR BRAND

A LOOK BACK It is not difficult to see the unique heritage and authentic style that define Hush Puppies. From its founding in 1958, with the creation of the world’s first casual shoe Hush Puppies has become more than a global brand. Hush Puppies is a part of global culture and symbolic of relaxed lifestyle.

HERE AND NOW Hush Puppies today offers its trademark cool, casual style in innovative products sold in over 135 countries around the world.. Hush Puppies continues to be a cherished part of culture. The spirit of the brand is reflected in the 19 million pairs of shoes sold every year.

A LOOK FORWARD Hush Puppies will continue to expand its casual lifestyle and innovative products to consumers around the world. Hush Puppies will keep on delivering the style that represents the classic nature of the brand, the innovative comfort that is part of our comfort philosophy, and the uncomprising craftsmanship that consumers have trusted throughout generations.

The BODY SHOE – MEN’S

Casual on the outside, athletic on the inside, the Body Shoe is a versatile collection designed with comfort and style for everyday. The superior comfort system in the Body Shoe combines balance, anatomical fit and climate control. Tested by footwear experts in biomechanics the unique design of the Body Shoe enhances natural walking motion. Premium, high-tech materials, and fit features typically found in athletic shoes, make the Body Shoe the most comfortable, casual shoes you can buy.

It’s All About Balance

Feel balanced all-day and walk with ease. The Bio-Bevel, a beveled heel and toe in the Body Shoe collection increases walking efficiency by encouraging easier, smoother and more natural walking motion. This natural walking motion allows you to feel more invigorated as you use less energy to propel yourself forward. Using natural walking motion to its full advantage, the bevels are perfectly placed to encourage the foot to follow the most efficient and balanced walking motion.

A Good Fit

The anatomically correct mold that is used to create the Body Shoe is perfectly shaped for the human foot. This allows for a custom fit that envelopes the foot, eliminating rubbing and friction. The multi-density footbed is designed with superb cushioning that is strategically placed for maximum support. The footbed made of Ortholite foam is a stiffer density in the arch to keep feet properly balanced ad supported. Poron foam provides more shock absorption where you need it the most, in the heel and ball of the foot. A smart investment, this high-grade foam resists breaking down over time and ensures long lasting comfort.

Calm, Cool & Collected

The Body Shoe is designed to keep you cool, dry and comfortable with an advanced climate control system that incorporates multi high-tech materials. Ortholite foam footbeds act like a sponge, drying off excess moisture and maintaining air flow for a cool foot sensation. The footbed is then covered with etc lining that reduces heat build-up by keeping the foot stationary thus reducing friction. The interior lining of the shoes made with Dri-Lex provides additional moisture wicking to keep the foot dry. Strategically placed mesh materials and perforations in the shoe upper provide an added cooling effect by venting warm air.

FEBRUARY AND MARCH COLLECTION

MADERA Fabulously feminine wedges are the perfect way to have a little fun this season by adding vibrant style to your wardrobe. The natural elements including sculpted wedge heels made of lightweight, genuine wood and hand-finished leathers give these sandals a sophisticated look. The cork-like contoured and cushioned footbeds maximize comfort. A coordinating colour pop around around the perimeter of the sole adds a fun accent. These colourful wedges are the perfect accessory to the season’s casual fashions from jeans and shorts, to a pretty floral dress.

The Women’s Collection: The 2009/2010 fall/winter season recharges exciting contrasts for Esprit Women Collection to describe a look located between youthful femininity and grown-up austerity. Understated design sets the stage for fine quality in clay-colored facets. Graphic, defined silhouettes get a feminine look when combined with soft, fleece-like, or flowing materials such as wool and alpaca. Balkan and Asian-inspired influences are subtly incorporated just as much as Brit chic or the all- American look to give the line a hint of natural expression. This character is communicated with an increased emphasis on unity: jersey dresses, pantsuits, overcoats, and blazers break through the reign of the two-piece classic for a contemporary look with a blend of materials and colors. Intensive jewel, berry, and blue tones complement the tranquil color schemes dominated by noncolors.

Esprit Casual: The 2009/2010 Esprit Casual fall/holiday season takes it easy with an “anything goes” attitude that makes new color, style, and pattern combinations possible. At the heart of the line is a Bohemian look that reveals itself from a new, contemporary side – interpreted in real style with a gipsy-inspired feel it comes in a highly contemporary look, with South American and Eastern European influences and relaxed Wild West appeal. Flowing kits, thick faux fur vests, and textured, extra-long knit cardigans round out the mix of styles. Webbings lend a classic touch to riding pants and overcoats such as the trench, duffle, or parka. Flowing rayon twills and satins as well as mohair and corduroy in new shapes guarantee interesting surface styles. This season’s denim features skinny, straight-leg, or wide-leg boyfriend styles. Medium washings with hints of a vintage effect team up with cleaner denims and shiny looks. Turn-ups are sure to be eye catchers for thin denims and cigarette pants. Jackets, miniskirts, and shirt dresses feature checked patterns in all variations in lush orange, dark berry, and green tones.

edc by Esprit - edc by Esprit introduces the New Aristocrats this 2009/2010 Fall/Holiday.

Checked prints for the edc 2009/2010 Fall/Holiday season can be considered anything but boring: opinionated, wild, and untamed, they make a bold statement with floral designs, ethnic patterns, stripes, and chunky knit styles. The New Aristocrats look is redesigned with new pattern mixes, gipsy details, and folklore appeal. Club tour instead of sightseeing is the order of the day with new print shirts and drainpipes. A cozy cable-knit overcoat is this winter’s candidate for warm style.

Authentic washings and cool destroyed effects give denim a new temperament. Warm down styles, quilted jackets, and wool coats get a fresh makeover thanks to faux fur appliqué, new details, and large collars. Red shades, berry tones, and petrol create accents between black, brown, grey and cream.

Esprit Bodywear - Esprit Casual Bodywear unites nostalgic charm with both classic and athletic elements. Elegant pinstripes create the perfect contrast for lace and floral prints – while bows, double lace trim, and delicate mille-fleur suggest a girlish, romantic allure. Minimal art deco-style prints adorn innovative microfiber fabrics, athletic checks are paired with feminine lace, and both uni and mixed patterns round out the detail-obsessed line. Multiway bras with versatile straps serve as the perfect companion to any top.

Chocolaty brown, anthracite, and off-white give the range a sense of calm and highlight different berry, orange, and rose shades.

Esprit Accessories - This 2009/2010 fall/holiday season, Esprit Accessories turns to aristocratic chic that brings style queens and purists together. Art Deco, architecture, and modern graphics are incorporated into the use of shape and design just as much as tradition and classical style. Floral, patterns reminiscent of Eastern cultures combine with dots and checks to form a graphic-inspired look where traditional details are contrasted by technical prints and architectonic linearity. Textured, authentic materials are accented with characteristics in suede styles and matt details.

For bags, new retro renditions and boxy shapes are the season’s must haves. Key styles such as the baguette bag, shoulder bag, and hobos are all part of this season’s looks.

Warm brown tones become trusted autumn companions and grow cooler and darker as winter slowly approaches. Red nuances and cool mint shades and olive tones provide the perfect accent to black, anthracite, and eggplant.

Mini Boys

For those who like to hang out at home as well as for the more adventurous types: In the 2009/2010 fall/holiday season, Esprit’s Mini Boys are heading out into the great outdoors or the next great cyberspace adventure.

The late 70s are revived with the Joystick Nation, bringing streetwear trends along with them. Pixel prints and allover patterns go the gamer route with computer code designs. Athletic hoodies, T-shirts and loose-fit cargo pants will become well-loved playmates.

Flashy colors such as bold green, bright blue, and vivid red come into play on graphics, slogans, and symbols – as well as on sweaters and shirts. Native Valley is the perfect trend for treehouse dwellers. Checked shirts, retro prints, wool embroidery, and applications get an authentic look with used washings and finishing as if they were passed down from an older brother. Retro stitching, sweat jackets in quilted looks with faux-fur lining, chunky and textured knits, parkas, and slim-fit shirts all create a sense of traditional outdoor charm.

Comfortable cargo styles are great companions and turn denims into casual old friends. Contemporary slim fits make an equally cool impression. Authentic vintage effects guarantee that “favorite jeans feeling” for brand-new denim. The used look gets even more intense with bleached denim or crinkle, tainted, and destroyed effects.

Mini Girls

The 70s add a playful touch to Esprit’s Mini Girls, too: the Graphic Playground reaches out to everything that glitters or makes a graphic statement. Pixel and supersize prints or allover patterns dance on shirts, sweaters, and dresses.

Bold, bright colors such as red and turquoise contrast with black for an elegant look with sparkling glitter prints and cool square studding. Patchwork on high-tech materials promise quilted, shiny, coated jackets in a wild mix of colors.

Colorful denims with shimmering black and matte metallic details make for the perfect color statement. The look is tamed with smart cuts and skinny leg shapes. The styles of the season are the slim fit, bootcut, and flared jeans. Used washings or destroyed and tainted effects give the styles character.

And the second topic of inspiration: Global Folkwear. Checks, floral motifs, and patchwork get trendy hippie girls’ hearts beating faster. Floral allover-pattern prints and Eastern European folklore give the line certain lightheartedness. But just to make sure things don’t get too sweet, urban grunge-inspired details are thrown into the mix. The look shows its true colors in purple, orange, pink, and bright yellow.

Evolution and tradition. The Max Mara collection for autumn and winter discovers a new sense of maturity. The comeback of the allure of tailoring, never lost but now taken to new heights, confirming a strong and contemporary personality.

The more generous proportions and the kimono sleeves, the long slim silhouette, layering and contrasting volumes reveal a new con- cept of style that is classic yet eccentric at the same time. Scarves run throughout the collection like a leitmotif, not just as headgear but also as a feature at the neck of the trench coats, suits and very feminine dresses. For the evening; the tux and the robe de chambre dress.

The fabrics are luxurious; cashmere, alpaca, pure camelhair, wool jersey, occasionally smouldering with sequins in tonal colours. The colours are classic; tobacco, beige, pewter grey and black.

Just Me. On stage & backstage. Eclecticism galore. Dedicated to all those young women who want to feel free to express their own personal style, playing a host of different roles on the grand stage and behind the scenes, depending on how they feel at the same time.

Just Me because the main and uncontested star is the own individual personality as mediated/media-ized through the still camera’s eye for the catalogue and advertising campaign photos, through the movie camera’s eye and by means of subtle references to art films.

Zoom in & out on the clothing and accessories, all the white aware of an overarching leitmotif: regardless of the location, one clearly makes out the individual personality of the woman who wears and loves MAX&Co.

A woman protagonist of the double cover, taking up both the front and back of the publication, in color and black & white, in a full-body shot and cropped, but always and incontestably “Herself”.

In order to illustrate the style of MAX&Co. and woman who embodies many other women it is necessary to dispense with the chaos of hyperbole and focus on the simplicity of the essential. In this way the character, contents and sound values of the collection’s looks emerge boldly.

Here we find an unorthodox location, distinguished by hardcore industrial elements, authentic textures and carefully selected props. An old warehouse located in Northeast London, a setting composed of giant windows, mirrors, wooden beams and metal objects, rough, worn walls with colors and textures that set off, by references and contrast, the outfits in the collection.

Inspired by a tried-and-proven technique of the cinema and theater, among brick walls and windows onto the world, the backdrops are an ideal background for the key images from the advertising campaign.

The engaging rhythm in the sequences of photos is set by the well-balanced alternation between the use of color and black & white, raw-edged images and ones enclosed in stark white frames. Photography filters reality through the eyes of the photographer/director.

MAX&Co. drew its inspiration freely from Michelangelo Antonioni’s cult film, Blow Up set in the Swinging London of 1966, that every film buff soaks by all means. The role of Vanessa Redgrave has been taken over by Jessica Miller, a top American model who walked the most important international catwalks and has been featured on the covers of the most exclusive fashion magazines in the world, such as Vogue, Marie Claire, l’Officiel, Numero, Harper’s Bazaar, Nylon, Surface and i-D.

Jessica’s own personal style, together with her hypnotic gaze and absolute mastery of stagecraft capture with grace and incisive stle the eclectic nature of MAX&Co. collection.

Emma Summerton, author of numerous cover shots and features published in the principal editions of Vogue and i-D, collaborates for the second time with MAX&CO. and once again demonstrates her great versatility when it comes to interpreting and illustrating a collection.

The handy shopping guide constitutes an indispensable tool for all the young ladies crazy about MAX&Co. This season it is organized by two sections, “extra tips for perfect style mix” and “look book &reference photos”, featuring all the key items in the fall-winter collection for 2009/10, in great still-life and worn shots.

And when it comes to the accessories, in addition to the traditional macro-images from the catalogue and advertising campaign, for the first time group shots are being utilized, images that capture the very essence, the fun mix & match character of the collection. Focus on Pop MAX&Co. re-edition 2009-1966, a comeback collection connecting the profound affinity between an authoritative past and vital/energetic present: archival cult- pieces brought back to relive a second adventure.

MAX&Co is available in Malaysia at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

‘Looking at Helmut Newton’s iconic portraits of Charlotte Rampling and Bianca Jagger, I am constantly mesmerized by his ability to create luxury out of simplicty; taking this inspiration as a starting point I wanted to create a collection that captures the excitement, energy and creativity of urban life.’ – Brian Atwood

This season highlights a rich palette of colour and texture, on a sensual flowing sea of softness with metallic accents reigning supreme. Starting with an image of Mimosa, a delicate yet graphic floral print was created in devoré. Both in back and a hand painted burst of colour, this fabric then carries across the collection, including shoes, accessories and ready-to-wear. Similarly a very graphic slightly gothic lace has been created in gold metal; heels, platforms, bags and jewelry featuring this gives the entire range an elegant edge. In addition a few elements were plucked from different eras, such as the Arabian influence of the 30’s, and the tailored sophistication of the 80’s; these, combined with the newly developed materials, results in a effortlessly sensual and modern collection.

The star shoe of the collection is a classic t-bar mary-jane whose heel and platform both have lace patterned gilding. Available in a vast array of colours and materials, close attention has been paid to every detail of these exquisitely finished shoes. Ankle, knee-high and thigh-high stretch suede boots, feature a 130mm gold lace ‘cage’ heel, and gilt edge platform. With peep toe, front tassel, and thick leather straps, these boots are sensually feminine. Winter in the city is of course about boots; knee-high or ankle, featuring clean lines or simple details, such as an asymmetrical cuff, are available in natural tones that beautifully display Bally’s high quality leathers.

For day, luxuriously voluminous satchels, in pleated nappa, laminated gold kid, natural and jewel coloured snakeskin, embellished with gold hardware, are chic and effortless. Clutches and minaudiere feature prominently, with cleverly designed interiors, this range of evening bags are created in the wondrously beautiful materials that flow throughout the collection, including gold python and silk devoré. The structured, and functional travel collection, mirrors the men’s travel group; however with its voluptuously rounded edges and distinguished hardware, it is sophisticatedly feminine, Featuring purpose built pieces such as 24 and 48 hour weekenders, a computer case, a document carrier, and ‘hat-box’ shaped bijoux and cosmetic bags, this group is available in grained leather or water-snake and lined in black on nude lace printed silk.

The Ready-to-Wear has a sophisticated, elegant and soft flowing silhouette. Metallics are threaded throughout the collection to create a certain sparkle, brightening up a traditionally dark season; long flowing marabou cardigans are laced together with chain; a patent leather lace jacket on close inspection has a network of delicate chain holding it together; ever staying bright, full draped jackets come in jewel tone wools and animal prints. Wool gabardine suits, featuring wide trousers and tapered jackets are paired with sumptuous devoré or lamé blouses, and finished off with chain or metal lace belts. Wonderfully rich fabrics are gathered and elegantly draped to create an effortless and quite relaxed look. Soft leather turbans, low cut driving gloves, and patchwork lace tights, give the looks a daring young finish that is simply urban.

Colors: slate – granite – bamboo – chestnut – cherry – purple – black – espresso – nude – rose tea – gold

‘From head to toe I wanted this collection to capture the tangible energy and creativity of city life. Originally I was concentrating on interpreting a classic tailored look, when I saw an amazing shot of Steve McQueen working on his motorcycle; instantly the collection came together; clean, modern and simply urban.’ – Brian Atwood

Green, grey, and black, is the statement palette of the collection. Although these are accented with hints of colour, the true core feature of across all categories is texture. Shoes, bags, belts, jackets, trousers, and even motorcycle helmets all are offered in a wide range of textures; knitted rather than felted cashmere for overcoats, leather for motorcycle helmets, animal print on finely knit silk cashmere cardigans, chunky knit linings, complex texturing and layering that once put all together is a straightforward simple clean collection.

The shoe collection is sleek, sharp, elegant and ultimately modern. For the main; classic oxfords, monk strap loafers and chelsea boots, all come in rich lustrous, warm colours, finished off with delicately combined brogueing and stitching details. On some styles you will find a micro rubber sole in place of the familiar hand finished leather soles that give an added lightness and flexibility.  In addition there are classic combat boots with chunky zippers, which are given a new twist with the elongated ’flat iron’ toe, in cherry bamboo or granite colours.  There is ankle or full length work boots that have waterproof leather soles with injected rubber treads, in tough oiled leather, hard wearing and functional but still not heavy. Beautifully simple drivers are offered in sumptuous jewel colour suede’s, and finally the sleek sneakers subtly feature the Bally crest logo

In keeping with the urban theme the bag collection is simply sophisticated; clean lines are supported by sumptuous textures, shearling, ostrich, washed python, blanket wool with the Bally’s iconic trainspotting stripe knitted into it, are all begging to be touched. Key shapes are the elongated document bag and the oversized satchel/shopper. As well there is a structured, chic, and functional travel collection that features purpose built pieces; trolleys, 24 and 48 hour weekenders, computer cases, a men’s shoe carrier, as well as small leather goods ranging from portfolios to tie cases. This entire range has clean modern lines, features, multi-layered, highly organized compartments all lined in quilted silk gross grain, including removable pouches to ensure everything is well protected including laptops.

The Ready-to-Wear features an eclectic mix, of textures, materials, and prints that together become the modern suit.  Here the vest of a traditional 3 piece suit is replaced with finely knit jumpers or cardigans, often in an animal print. A hand tailored jacket is paired with jeans originally inspired by motocross trousers, or velvet trousers. The traditional suit shirt is replaced with silks and cottons cut pajama style, and finished off with a skinny leather tie. Biker jackets are made in Melton wool and trimmed in shearling. Alternatively washed out leather, is lined with chunky knit sweater that extends down to cover the hands, the way a true motorcycle jacket would. Finally the finest wool gabardine has been hand tailored for two piece single breast suits; slim-fit, sophisticated, urban.

Colors: slate – dark slate – granite – bamboo – chestnut – cherry – purple – black- oxblood – night – expresso
