The good folks from Vein Wear have just reminded the Despotic Queen that my beloved Imeldette’s have only four weeks before the Vein Wear Footwear Competition closes.
I
was surprised at how few of the submissions (like only one) came from local
talent…srsly bitches, bust-open your Crayola 12-pack and start scratching out
some haute men’s footwear…the pride of a nation rests on your sunburnt shoulders!
Night Boot by Chris Worfold (Australia)
Koul Shoe by Adrian Castro (Spain)

I love fierce shoes for man!
Many kisses Imelda!

if they upped the incentive to do the competition, that might encourage more participants. you really only get one pair of shoes (who cares if it's named after you?), how about a small percentage of profits? i understand it's a small independent label but what they're asking is for you to assist in designing.
if incentive isn't the issue maybe it's because local people would rather follow than lead...

Hi all,
James, thank for your coments about Koul Shoe.
I hope this kind of international competitions serve to encourage creativity among designers.
They say that the design of shoes and cars, is reserved to an elite group of designers with high sensitivity for the taste ... but I think many people in the world with this capability, one must be encouraged to compete and show what we love. The design!
Regards,
Adrián_

Hi Jame,
I guess you have never see a pair shoe made from nothing before right?! Design is one thing which very important but making is another...how many designs out there can not be able to made...anyone would like to made a design happen is bless. I agree with Adrián, good luck with the competition. BTW...I don't think veinwear head designer need other's designs...he has prove all his design really sell (another area which a lots people don't want to talk about...selling your design)he did all himself.....this Competition really just let all of us has chance to made our design alive
