SPRING/SUMMER 2013
JOURNEYS... I recently had the opportunity to meet with President Obama and Vice President Biden at The White House. Fourteen small business owners and I shared our visions, our journeys and our plans for the future with the President and members of his team. I was thrilled with the opportunity to tell our story, and started at the beginning, some twenty years ago, when my husband Peter and I sold our first pairs of Dansko shoes out of the back of our station wagon. Today we are 185 employee-owners strong, changing the quality of people s lives through our products, our passion, and our commitment to a better tomorrow. As I traveled home to Pennsylvania, I felt both proud and inspired. Proud of the journey Dansko is on and inspired that, as a 100% employee owned company, Dansko will grow, broaden and expand in the very hands of the folks that brought it this far it s employees. Sustainability and shared prosperity for all has never felt more important. On the following pages you ll have the opportunity to meet some members of our team and hear about their favorite styles and colors for spring. We hope you will enjoy all that this spring collection has to offer. There s something for every moment of your day (and night!). There are so many to choose from; maybe you ll have several favorites we do! Wishing all good things, Me at the White House! Check out our new Sedona and Vista collections.

INSPIRED BY... The Dansko Design Team shares their inspiration for the Spring /Summer 2013 styles Our goal is to expand Dansko offerings in terms of style, color and materials. Mirabel goes bold with saturated colors such as red and blue, Sophie and Sandi get a bit of bling with iridescent blue and the moray leathers. Dani and Donna can be found with new colors and materials. Spring 13 not only introduces new styles but offers fresh updates to continuing collections. Kelly, Product Line Manager The colors of spring were the inspiration for this season s palette, whether they re beautifully woven together in Artisan Weave or stand alone in the Sedona collection. Summer comes on bold with the reds and blues of Vista and Mirabel. We hope you enjoy wearing these colorful collections as much as we had designing them. Ann, Creative Director For Spring 13, we introduce the Sedona and Vista collections, putting the legendary Dansko DNA and all-day comfort into shoes that are flexible, colorful and lightweight. These shoes will be great for fans to expand their Dansko wardrobe, providing styles for the many different moments of the day. Sal, VP of Product Development & Sourcing New technology such as 3D printing enables us to develop complete, detailed prototypes in-house. Now we can print components such as outsoles and buckles, fine-tuning the many features and benefits before moving into the sample stage. By significantly shortening the production cycle, cutting edge comfort and style are delivered to you quicker. Jonathan, Designer 2 3
