In collaboration with Invito, FASHIONCLASH invited upcoming designers to develop a shoe concept where creativity and sustainability come together. The Shoe Design Challenge was born as a way to contribute to the development of new (fashion)design talent.
On the 1st of October 2013 the jury came together at Museum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht, where all the designs where exhibited. The jury, existing of designer Bas Kosters, team Invito and FASHIONCLASH, awarded three designers: the mens shoe design by Malou Fool and women’s shoe design by Monique Schraven will be taken into production and will be sold in Invito stores in 2014. Chris van den Elzen received an honorable mention for his innovative and inspiring shoe design.
