History
The Bata Phenomenon A MODERN, VISIONARY manager, a man of almost genius-like status: these characteristics made Tomas Bata’s personality EXCEPTIONAL. He was a pioneer in many respects. The Tomas Bata Shoe School was founded as the first business school in Europe. Little by little the whole system of industrial education came into being. Over time, the Bata School of Work not only incorporated shoemakers, but also electricians, chemists, mechanists, builders and others.
Students from Around the World Descend on the Bata School
It wasn’t just citizens of Czechoslovakia who were interested in being educated at the Bata School. Leadership positions to work at Bata factories and stores abroad were for instance taken up by12 Indians, 14 Englishmen, 28 French, 36 Germans and 136 Yugoslavs. The BSW also trained Americans, Dutch, Egyptians, Poles, Bulgarians and Romanians. The BSW only admitted students who had completed town schools, i.e. primary schools. The age ranged from 14-15 years. The study programme lasted three years. The education comprised of three parts: work in the plant, evening classes in the school and training in the boarding house. New students gained their first experience in the induction workshop, the so-called shoemaker school. New employees under the supervision of experienced instructors acquired their first job skills.
Education game
Tomas Bata realized very early on the importance of not only looking after his employees, but also training and educating them, since educated, self-reliant and prospective employees serve as a guarantee for the future success of the company. They are its hope. Bata’s vision formed the basis for setting up Bata schools. He himself lacked any higher education. He first started thinking about how to go about developing his employees back in 1909, when preparing a new vision for the future new Zlín. Even back then he counted on building an entire school district in Zlín providing the basis for a Bata education.
The principle of your own earnings
Bata’s important “Education Game” got underway on 15th September 1925. It was at this time that the Bata School of Work opened its doors to students. The school was for boys with 80 pupils entering the first grade. From the beginning, it focused on professional training and consistent social education. The boys at the Bata School of Work grew up as confident and skilled young men educated to the highest possible level, able to understand and find their way around the organization, administration and management. Four years later, the boys’ school was joined by the newly formed girls’ school. The girls were called “young women” and the boys “young men”. The number of those interested in studying at the Bata School of Work was constantly on the rise. In 1934, 19,000 applicants applied to be admitted, with the school accepting 1,000-1,500 students each year.

“You’re fifteen, earn your living!” This was the clear and logical principle in training new apprentices. Apprentices kept their yearbooks, in which they recorded the amounts of weekly wages, deductions for insurance, accommodation, tuition, meals and shopping for everyday needs, or travel expenses, allowances to parents and pocket money. Yearbooks were submitted each week to their educators to check. The apprentices deposited the resulting surplus into their personal accounts. The Bata Company guaranteed interest of 10% on it. Schools offered their education wherever they opened new plants, E.g. in Baťovo, in Třebíč, in Zruč nad Sázavou, in Sezimovo Ústí, in Baťovany and in Svit under Tatras. The Bata School of Work became the basis for building industrial and commercial education in Zlín. Activities of the schools ended with the arrival of the communist regime in the Czech Republic in 1948.
before starting their education. The subjects included German and English language courses with some subjects which students could select for themselves. Days finished with a nine o’clock curfew. Saturdays included studies and sports. Sundays were free. In 1932 2,800 girls and 2,700 boys lived at the boarding houses.
Origin and history of the BSG Club (Bata School Graduates)
Over time Bata School of Work graduates set up their own club. This was founded as a voluntary organization, and most certainly had no political ambitions. Only Bata School of Work graduates
The Bata educational system was really ingenious. Thanks to this, the number of inhabitants in Zlín soon multiplied, which in turn led to growth in terms of the number of employees at Bata too. Graduates, young men and young women, found it easy to apply their skills. Not only at Bata company, but also in other businesses. Not to mention in other countries and continents. And it wasn’t just skills and expertise that Bata School graduates took with them when they left. Their biggest
advantage in the labour market was cohesion, patriotism, honour, assiduity, self-reliance and courage.
Wake up and warm-up! The magic of boarding houses
Students came to study at the Bata School of Work not only from all over the country, but also from different parts of the world. Logically, hostels (school) boarding houses were built for students. Of course, they were divided into boys’ boarding houses and boarding houses for girls. The boarding houses had many other, quite meaningful rules. The alarm-clock started ringing every morning at five-thirty. This was immediately followed by heading out for morning exercise, performed both in summer and winter. Time was then allocated for personal hygiene, tidying rooms followed by breakfast. If you were thinking that this was followed by school classes and a bit of work experience in the afternoon, then you couldn’t get further from the truth. By seven everyone had started their work in the factory. They continued their practice in the afternoon with only one longer break for lunch. Within two hours, they all managed to have lunch and had some free time for themselves. From two to five o’clock in the afternoon they again worked and had to wait until dinner finished
were able to become members of the club whose mission was to offer activities relating to education, sports and entertainment. The club’s headquarters were located on the third floor of the former Community House and its first president was Tomas Bata Jr. (son of Tomas Bata). The BSG Club also published its own journal until 1938 called “The BSG Club Newsletter”. Starting in 1939 the publication went by the name “Forward” including the subtitle “The BSG Club Newsletter”. Branches of the club burgeoned in the Czech Republic like mushrooms after rain. Finally, they went international - sprouting up in Berlin, Germany, Konnagar, India and also in Borova, Yugoslavia.
Tomasov’s Elite Students Tomasov was the school for the best selected students from Bata schools. The Tomasov house was built in 1938 and its designer was the famous Czech architect, F. L. Gahura. Bata went by the motto “To have skilled co-workers, we need to educate them,“ and this was even more applicable in the case of managerial cadres. People from Tomasov (“Tomasovci“) were prepared for leadership positions in modern enterprises worldwide. This corresponded with the top quality of teaching. At school among other things they were taught foreign languages, etiquette and communication, while during the day they worked. On the walls of the factories and Tomasov you could read mottos that may sound funny today, but which at that time took on enormous importance: “Be the first, be winners“, “Fight is the father of all“, “Each day has 86,400 seconds“, “Don‘t be afraid of wounds“, “Don‘t be made of glass, Be made of steel“, “Let‘s help ourselves“, “Strong love life“, “Speed is power“.

Interview
“I’ve always bought
Bata Shoes!” Is fashion your passion?
To me, fashion means keeping true to who you are. But due to heavy commercialization and pressure to fit in, I think the word “fashion” has lost its meaning. Fashion should be about wearing the clothes that make you feel happy, because when you feel happy you become more productive and spread positive energy around you. I think as soon as something becomes a trend, it tends to lose its power to do this.
Do you have a signature style, and do you follow fashion trends? I love minimalism, and my designs reflect it. I am attracted to monochromatic colors and believe that timeless pieces offer exceptional value. Although I stay informed about fashion trends, they feel superficial to me.
When did you fall in love with Bata shoes? I’ve grown up with the Bata brand; I’ve been wearing Bata since I was a little girl. For casual and dressy affairs, Bata was the brand my family turned to. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve fallen in love with the diversity of Bata’s collections and know I can count on Bata to have the perfect shoe for nearly any occasion.
THE BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA NATIVE HAS A DEGREE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON HER MASTER’S DEGREE IN NEW MEDIA DESIGN AT THE FACULTY OF DIGITAL ARTS IN BELGRADE, SERBIA. NO DOUBT THIS PROMISING FASHION GURU HAS A KEEN EYE FOR DESIGN. IN FACT, WHEN WE DISCOVERED HER WITH HER LATEST CREATIONS WEARING HER FAVORITE BATA HEELS! WE HAD TO LEARN MORE. READ ON AS WE REVEAL MORE ABOUT THIS TREND SETTING YOUNG WOMAN, AND WHAT FASHION MEANS TO HER.
As a fashion designer, we’re begging you to tell us what’s hot! I think personality is always hot; and clothes and accessories are the best way to express your personality. Too often we think of clothes as simple garments that cover our bodies. I want to encourage people to think of clothing in a new way: as an expression of themselves. And finding just the right pair of shoes is essential to creating your individual style. Photography by Ljubomir Todorovic 8 / BATA / WWW.BATA.COM
Why did you start blogging, and how do you keep inspired?
Do you have a favourite fashion designer or brand?
We love shoes! What tips do you have for choosing the right pair?
If we opened your closet, what kind of shoes would we find?
I’m creative to the core and although I have a passion for design, I also need a place where I can write about the industry and share my design projects. My inspiration comes from everywhere. Life, nature, philosophy, psychology, and graphics get my creative juices flowing. Honesty and intuition guide me. I also love browsing Pinterest. I find a lot of inspiration there.
I love the simplicity of Jil Sander, his dominant form amazes me every time. I also admire the work of Maison Martin Margiela, Acne Studio, along with the young designer Mary Katrantzou. Her prints often inspire me.
II often see people wearing stunning clothing with a cheap or unsuited pair of shoes. I’d love your readers to remember that if you do not have the right shoes, even the most expensive dress in the world loses its value. The “right” shoe is one that enhances your outfit instead of detracting from it. Lots of times I choose my shoes first, and then decide what outfit to wearthat’s how important shoes are! .
I’m crazy for boots and sandals that have interesting heels. You wouldn’t find many ordinary shoes in my closet. Again, shoes are an expression of oneself- so mine reflect my unique style. I encourage your readers to break away from ordinary shoes and instead select shoes that they are genuinely attracted to and mirror their personality.

Suede ankle boot wedges and ankle boot high heels are at the core of the collection, and dynamic colour combinations abound. Violet pairs smartly with black and with white- both of which allow it to stand out well. And the hot trend of grey mixed with bottle green is sprinkled throughout the collection.

Sidewalk Selecting the Perfect Boot
1. Material matters. Synthetic or cloth fabrics are fine for autumn, however for winter you are definitely better off going for leather which is more resistant. 2. Size is important. If you normally wear size 38, moving up to size 39. If you’re buying shoes with a pointy toe, it’s especially a good idea to buy a slightly bigger size.
2
3. Consider your shape. Choose boots according to your figure. Tall slim women can get away with any type of boot. Women with fuller figures will find high and narrowly shaped boots most flattering. If you’re slightly shorter, go for boots with high heels which optically lengthen your figure.

A Bata bestseller every woman will appreciate‌ comfort guaranteed even in high heels! The success of Insolia shoes can be easily explained: they make your feet feel good! That’s because Insolia shoes are designed to transfer weight from the front part of your foot to the heel, thus reducing excess strain on the front of your foot. On top of that, when you slip on a pair of Insolia shoes, your feet are placed in an anatomically more natural position than with traditional shoes. Less strain is placed on the knees, calves and feet- reducing tension and pain in the foot. Walking in high heel shoes with Insolia is an experience your feet deserve.

BATA 2.0
A new dimension of comfort
Walking will never feel the same again thanks to Bata’s revolutionary comfort technology. Bata engineers have developed a unique outer sole valve that makes walking more comfortable and safer by optimising heat in the shoes so your foot doesn’t sweat, absorbing the shock impact experienced when walking, and minimizing the danger of slipping. Walking has never been more comfortable or more stylish than with the new Bata 2.0 generation. Try a pair today- your feet are sure to thank you.

FLEXIBLE 5
Shoes featuring Flexible technology are ideal for wearing all day long. The secret behind the success of this shoe is the special insole that absorbs shock, and its antislip rubber soles. Plus, Flexible respects the body’s natural movements and moulds to the anatomy of the foot which makes it incredibly comfortable and improves overall balance when walking. Best yet- it is made from nothing other than 100% natural materials with a design reflecting the latest fashion trends. You‘ll discover Flexible technology exclusively at Bata stores.
