V2.0 at the end of this month
Only a few days and we will beta-testing the new site. We are very exciting about it & we hope you will be as well; Despite some setbacks in development & shoots, we finally will make the next step in our “people’s involvement in Fashion journey”. This time we will integrate user generated content, that allows you to share your initial thoughts on the current fashion industry, or even better share your new ideas.
Our Executive editors Lizzy (left) & Nicky (right)
On the editorial part we have made a big step as well & hired our new executive editors: Lizzy & Nicky, two of the upcoming fashion-bloggers. Here you can see them & soon we will have an introduction interview as well; Joey, our community manager, will be focusing on you, as member, and realize added value for you. In Madrid Spain we have a Cristina, who will be launching Justproud in Spanish soon after our introduction in MSN Holland.
We will optimize “lookbook” into “streetstyle” because we have the benefit of being a global community, so we like to facilitate and share global fashiontrends. On the content we will not only have written articles but we will integrate video as well; so in case you have a cool video, feel free to upload it!
And we have also a new “international contest” coming up; we think that this will be the most superior one ever. This Monday we will have a meeting with MSN & after that we can announce the new contest which will be online at the launch of JUSTPROUD V2.0
Counting the days………. 🙂

Justproud V2.0
After some radio silence, being busy creating our new version, we are preparing a cool introduction of Justproud V2.0. The new version will include much more fashion content; 2 top notch editors joined our team. And because Justproud is all about peoples involvement in fashion, we thought it will be cool when we will facilitate cool fashion news of our members as well. That is also the reason why it takes some longer to finish Justproud V2.0, because we will have to create this option in multiple languages. We will count down from now, to early December, when we expect to go live.
In the meantime we are awarded again! We are honored and humble by winning the Davey Award & being shortlisted at the Lovie Awards. Thanks to our loyal members we received this international recognition.
Ok, ok, now we will continue to think how we will create the cool introduction; with more opportunities for you!

Yes the winners are announced! A big applause for Maya, Damaris, Svetlomir, Stefy and Sammy! They get the opportunity to improve their portfolio and to show us more of their work.
During the contest everyone showed very interesting portfolio’s. The top 5 proved that they are most popular and received the most votes. We liked all entries so much. To only have a top 3 was rather difficult for us, but then you probably also understand that we can’t let everyone win. So instead of a top 3 we’ve decided to have a top 5. Woop woop!
Currently some members of the team are very busy tanning, diving, going out for dinners and other stuff you do on a holiday, but some are also working on JUSTPROUD v 2.0. The new version will include new functions, more content, castings, networking opportunities, contests and much more. Please, DO share your opinion with us! Any advice, tip, opinion is welcome.
Cheers to the winners and to JUSTPROUD v 2.0!

V2.0 after the summer
preview Wireframe 1.9
Here you can see the preview of our new wireframe; the minimum quality standard will be higher, the emphasis is on user generated content (designs, pictures & yes articles & videos as well); we expect to be live with the new version at the end of summer.
These are our thoughts on Justproud V2.0:
- Global fashion community
- User generated content (designs / pictures / articles & movies )
- More fashion related news (product reviews, campaigns etc.)
- Global & local matchmaking (with whom can you collaborate)
- Video content (fashion shows / behind the scenes / tutorials )
- Open castings local
- Global competitions
- Opportunity for designers to sell directly through your community
- Co-creation opportunities
In the meantime we have to close our shop (to rebuild it & add new features) and we will update all content & profiles; in the new version one have to have a profile picture so we know each person behind the member account & and place so we can do the local matchmaking.
The lookbook-section will be cleaned, over time many pictures sneaked through our system but didn’t meet our Lookbook rules. “MY JUSTPROUD” will be replaced to the top of the page (and not in the navigation) and will be enriched by local matchmaking (who joined JUSTPROUD in your neighborhood) .
Please share your thoughts on how improve JUSTPROUD together!

Top 25 so far & new design
After the last Top 30 now we have a real TOP25. The differences between all contestants is still small but still slowly bigger than 2 weeks ago.
In general we see that models are in amount the most active to participate, but photographers & designers are more eager to get votes apparently. But the contest remains still 33 days, so a lot can change.
New site design
Next week the design from our previous winner Hazerico will be in presale; very exciting to see if all fans also will buy the design. We are also looking forward to the photoshoot with Alena in August.That will give us an opportunity to shoot some new content for the site trailer together with Alena as well;
Talking about the site. We are currently in the process of redesigning the site & adding some functionalities. We started off with a simple one for the first contest, few months later we introduced the co-creation site, than we created the current site because of our partnership with MSN & now we are reengineering the current site to the platform where we will provide more added value, not only co-creation but also a lot of networking opportunities.
Soon we hope to present you some screenshot of the new design. In case you have any ideas, please share it with us.
Enjoy your weekend!
