I love the crispness in the air, college football, the baseball playoffs and that spectacular burst of color before the leaves drop. Fall also brings the introduction of amazing new Allen Edmonds styles to add to the excitement. Under our new owners at Caleres, we’ve augmented our product development team led by Jim Kass with Caleres’ men’s shoe experts in New York and Europe. The combined team has been hard at work on an unprecedented number of new products. Glance through these pages to find new ideas like the Tate Collection that combine Allen Edmonds’ DNA of timeless styling and superb quality paired with new leathers and super-lightweight, flexible soles for modern looks. Or see our updated McTavish that features casual leather and a very cool translucent lug sole that adds great all-weather grip. And if it’s boots that you need, check out my favorites, the new Caen and Stirling. They’re fantastic! On a personal note, this fall also brings with it my “graduation” from Allen Edmonds. It’s been my absolute privilege and honor to serve you as President & CEO of this company since 2008. With my talented partners across the company, we successfully navigated duress during the Great Recession and built Allen Edmonds to consecutive record annual sales levels, despite the challenging era for retailers and shoe companies. Most important to me was that we were able to grow U.S. employment during that time nearly 100%. It has been a fun and fulfilling journey. With the rest of the Allen Edmonds team remaining in place to ensure the continuation of our momentum, I’m comfortable that the time is right for me now to step aside and pass the baton to Malcolm Robinson, who is the new President of Caleres’ Men’s and International Division. Malcolm has terrific men’s fashion industry experience and is keenly focused on growing Allen Edmonds both domestically and abroad. Allen Edmonds has the most impressive customer base of any company I know. I leave you all with my profound thanks for being loyal supporters of this great 95-year-old company. Best wishes to you.

    Allen Edmonds Reimagines Iconic Styles for Casual Moment

    NEWS RELEASE Allen Edmonds Reimagines Iconic Styles for Casual Moment 11/4/2020 The Evolution of the Great Dress Shoe ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Caleres (NYSE: CAL) brand Allen Edmonds has always had a loyal following for its iconic styles – the Park Avenue and the Strand. This fall, the brand has taken both and remixed to make them more suitable for everyday causal wear. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201104005747/en/ Allen Edmonds, Strand Sneaker (Photo: Business Wire) “The Park Avenue has been Allen Edmonds best-selling shoe for over 40 years – in fact we’ve sold over a million pairs since it rst hit the market,” said Keith Duplain, senior vice president and general manager heritage brands. “Today our consumers are moving from dress to lifestyle looks – searching for athletic-inspired and hybrid-casual styles – so it made great sense to take both silhouettes into a sneaker cup sole design to match our customers’ needs in this moment.” The new sneakers launched in September 2020 and are positioned to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity in the active and casual space. These sneakers use the same high-quality leather upper as a standard Park Avenue and Strand designs. And the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “These two new styles have quickly become our best-selling casual sneakers, routinely outselling their dress counterparts online in recent weeks and are now on back order,” added Duplain. In this environment, it’s important that brands innovate to nd their own distinct casual identity while at the same 1 time staying true to their brand voice.

    FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 2017. Is It Fall and Winter?

    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER N E W Y O R K • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS DOLCE & GABBANA 2017. Is it Fall and Winter? Now and Next? Or a fluid season of see it/buy it and see it/wait for it? The key word is fluid, as in… Gender Fluid. As more women lead the same business lives as men, the more the clothes for those shared needs become less sex-specific. Raf Simons of Calvin Klein and Anna Sui showed men and women in identical outfits. For the first time, significant numbers of male models shared the runways with female models. Some designers showed menswear separately from women’s wear but sequentially at the same site. Transgender Fluid. Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler hired transgender models. Transsexuals also modeled in London, Milan and Paris. On the runways, diversity is the meme of the season. Model selections are more inclusive—not only gender fluid, but also age fluid, race fluid, size fluid, religion fluid. And Location Fluid. Philipp Plein leaves Milan for New York. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy leave New York for Paris. Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachel Comey leave New York for Los Angeles. Tom Ford returns to New York from London and Los Angeles. Given all this fluidity, you could say: This is Fashion’s Watershed Moment. The moment of Woman as Warrior—armed and ready for the battlefield. Woman in Control of Her Body—to reveal, as in the peekaboobs by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent.

The new Honors Collection of golf shoes brings almost a century of classic, handcrafted style, unrivaled comfort and time-tested performance to the sport of golf. The shoes will be handcrafted in the USA, using Goodyear 360-degree welted construction for greater stability while maintaining flexibility. They feature the finest premium leathers and heated cork between the insole and outsole for custom-like orthotic comfort as only Allen Edmonds can do. “Built by hand using the traditional shoe craftsmanship methods, the Honors Collection is for the man who respects style and wants a performance golf shoe to match his game,” says Colin Hall, Chief Marketing Officer of Allen Edmonds. “Our shoes are remarkably different than the sports shoes most companies now offer. The Honors Collection represents a return to classic, elegant shoes that reflect a refined gentleman’s approach to golf.” “Allen Edmonds -- an American-based, leading men’s dress shoe maker -- is experiencing business resurgence, and our new Honors Collection golf shoes exemplify our dedication to outfitting American businessmen who enjoy golf and appreciate style and comfort,” says Hall.

In this work we explore the task of instance segmentation with attribute localization, which unifies instance segmentation (detect and segment each object instance) and fine-grained visual attribute cat- egorization (recognize one or multiple attributes). The proposed task requires both localizing an object and describing its properties. To illus- trate the various aspects of this task, we focus on the domain of fashion and introduce Fashionpedia as a step toward mapping out the visual aspects of the fashion world. Fashionpedia consists of two parts: (1) an ontology built by fashion experts containing 27 main apparel categories, 19 apparel parts, 294 fine-grained attributes and their relationships; (2) a dataset with everyday and celebrity event fashion images annotated with segmentation masks and their associated per-mask fine-grained at- tributes, built upon the Fashionpedia ontology. In order to solve this challenging task, we propose a novel Attribute-Mask R-CNN model to jointly perform instance segmentation and localized attribute recogni- tion, and provide a novel evaluation metric for the task. Fashionpedia is available at: https://fashionpedia.github.io/home/.

    When the War Ended in 1945, Europe Turned to the Task of Rebuilding, and Americans Once Again Looked West for Inspiration

    When the war ended in 1945, Europe turned to the task of rebuilding, and Americans once again looked west for inspiration. The swagger of the cowboy fitted the victorious mood of the country. Dude ranches were now a destination for even the middle class. Hopalong Cassidy and the puppet cowboy Howdy Doody kept children glued to their televisions, and Nashville’s country music industry produced one ‘rhinestone cowboy’ after another. Westerns were also one of the most popular film genres. As the movie director Dore Schary noted, ‘the American movie screen was dominated by strong, rugged males – the “one punch, one [gun] shot variety”.’43 In this milieu, cowboy boots became increasingly glamorous. Exagger- atedly pointed toes, high-keyed coloured leathers, elaborate appliqué and even actual rhinestone embellishments were not considered excessive. This period has been called the golden age of cowboy boots, and the artistry and imagination expressed in late 1940s and 1950s boot-making is staggering. The cowboy boot was becoming part of costume, a means of dressing up, of playing type. This point was made clear by the popularity of dress-up cowboy clothes, including boots, for children. Indeed, this transformation into costume was becoming the fate of many boots in fashion. Although most boot styles fell out of fashion in the 1950s, in the immediate post-war period a particular form of military footwear did pass into men’s stylish casual dress: the chukka boot, said to have come from India, and its variant, the desert boot. Designed as a low ankle boot with a two to three eyelet closure, chukkas were said to have been worn for comfort by British polo players both on and off the field in India.44 The simple desert boot was based on the traditional chukka but in Cairo during the war it was given a crepe sole and soft suede upper.
