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!

V2.0 after the summer

Yes and it’s summertime, we love to have long evenings at the beach, drinks at the terraces and of course to create a new version of Justproud; JUSTPROUD V2.0
The past year we have made a huge step in creating your global fashion community & now it’s time to take it 1 step further again. To create even more added value for you!

Preview Wireframe V1.9 


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.



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!
