©PHILIPP PLEIN

In his Homme Division glam designer Philipp Plein proposes elegant fashion items, striking accessories and exclusive shoes – to him the line embodies “contemporary luxury for self-confident, style-assured men”.

In Spring/Summer 2011 the creative focus is on modernity and authenticity. The combination of classic design with rock’n’roll elements make this look unique and individual.

In the shoe segment exquisite materials, radiant colours and eye-catching details ensure an extraordinary fashion experience. A wide choice of styles guarantees the appropriate appearance for every occasion. The assortment ranges from summery slip-ons and airy sandals to classic Oxford shoes.

©Love Moschino

The trademark of the Italian trend label Moschino is a romantic mix-and-match style with plenty of humour and playful irony. Designer Franco Moschino from Milan began in 1983 with his first Moschino fashion line. Moschino Cheap & Chic and Moschino Jeans soon followed, and Love Moschino was added later on.

His shoe creations for the 2011 Spring/Summer season include high heels, wedges, flats and sandals.

©Schmoove

The French trend label Schmoove is the vehicle for the funky men's shoe collection from Free Lance and JBR. The look is extraordinary, alternative and casual. Tradition, authentic craftsmanship, zeitgeist and innovation are mixed together here in an original and humorous manner.

©Smaak

Smaak is a young accessories label from Amsterdam. Bags celebrate their debut here this year. The company describes its look as timeless, tasteful and modern, and the prices as reasonable.

French designer Vincent Blanchard, who has worked for premium brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana, is sharing design and development duties with label founder André Grundmann. Smaak bags are crafted of soft Italian leather. Sand, beige and chocolate are the favoured colours, with brighter tones such as pink and fuchsia setting highlights.

©Jeffrey Campbell

The shoes by American designer Jeffrey Campbell are sexy, crazy, freakish and totally hip in the USA. The success story began in the year 2000: Campbell created the first pairs in a backyard shop in Los Angeles. Today stars such as Agyness Deyn, Kate Perry, Miley Cyrus, Fergie and Lady Gaga wear his styles.

The combination of unusual design, a healthy portion of L.A.-typical trash and loving exaggerations makes the styles absolutely hot.

©Ottaviani

The young Italian shoe label Ottaviani was founded in 2008. The outward appearance of these men's and women's styles is classic modern – the lines are harmonious and carry the typical Italian signature. Extraordinary comfort, however, is promised by the specially developed "My Walk" system in the soles. A shock absorber inside the hollow heels gently dampens strike impact. Ottaviani shoes are also especially light.

©Hydrogen

Hydrogen will be showing its premium sneakers with fun factor at GDS.

The Italian fashion label was founded in the summer of 2003 and is meanwhile securely established in the luxury sportswear segment. Hydrogen creates exclusive limited collections for companies such as Fiat, Lamborghini and the legendary motorcycle brand, MV Agusta. Furthermore, there are cooperations with Porsche and premier yacht builders WALLY.

Next to complete outfits in the “firstline” the sportswear collection with the stylised skull motifs is a distinct line. The range is rounded off by shoes and accessories.

©Cult

“Cult Shoes speak the language of youth fluently,” say the creative bods behind this Italian label. The look focuses on global fashion culture and is urban, non-conformist, trendy and hip. In Spring/Summer 2011 trends for both women and men revolve around vintage and retro sneakers.

Special styles for women are ballerinas featuring sneaker details and chuck versions in a patchwork of trendy colours.

>>> Cult

©Ash Kids

From Spring/Summer 2011 the French footwear firm ASH will also be offering shoes for kids. The fashion label is famous for high-fashion sneakers and some top sellers in its women’s and men’s lines have now been translated into a small child-size format.
