Our partners Mediastudio & thedigitalistas.com

It is against the essence to create a community by yourself; so besides our core team & members we have some strategic partners to create this movement in Fashion. We like to emphasis on our content partners this time:

Mediastudio, owned by Willem Martinot, did all the motion pictures, editing & is basicly one of the core teammembers; please find here the trailer he made for JUSTPROUD. Mediastudio helped us a lot with production of our first shoot.



thedigitalistas.com is one of our content partners. Their new platform is one for all online fashion- and lifestyle editors. Their goal is to connect with all Online Fashion Editors/Professional bloggers worldwide. They offer the feed on your personal page with all kinds of news around Fashion.

Our people in Prague, Canada & Singapore

Please find here an update on new Ambassadors; if you want to represent a region, please contact us.


Marketa Peprna – Prague - Czech republic
My name is Marketa, I live my whole life in the center of Prague, the place full of history and beauty. I like creativity, art, to get know new things and new people, to travel....all this just mentioned leads to another favorite hobby of mine "Fashion". My big obsession is jewelry. In my job area, I often receive invitations and I attend events like exhibition openings, theater and film premiere. I got to know this project by coincidence via my friend and i want to take a chance to participate, help and discover something new!

Michael Carty - Nova Scotia - Canada
I'm the type that thrives on creativity in all its diversity. Photography has been my passion for years and I have trained my eye to see what works in a shoot, from the most dominant subjects to the more subtle elements. I have done many shoots and for me, fashion is more than just clothing, it is an expression and an artform that everyone can appreciate. I would want to convey emotion in all of my fashion endeavours. I am very happy to be working with JUSTPROUD, who encourages free thought and creative expression in all of its members. Visit my website for my work: http://michaelcarty.photography.com/


Herbert Julian – Singapore
Hi! My name is Herbert Julian and I'm located in Singapore. Born in Hong Kong, and raised in Singapore when i was young. I believe in happiness, and helping people is something that leads me and others to it. In Singapore, I have been helping a lot of new blood of Photographers-wanna-be and Model-wanna-be. Everyone still learning and knowledge is never end. I have been fallen in Love with Fashions since young. Observe, Learn, and Create is always my way of life. I learned different fashions from different countries. And fashion always enlightens me. And now JUSTPROUD had given me the opportunity to be PROUD!

Beta site release, first label & other things

It was a busy week. It took more effort on getting the beta site release live. So our developers are currently making a lot of hours to make things happen prior to March 23th. The effort is not so much in the big applications but more in ‘rescaling pictures’, ‘obtaining a forgotten password’ and so on.

After going live we will make a ‘mock up’ for the next site release, planned in May. In case people know more ‘need to have’ features, please feel free to add to the list; we cannot promise it will come with the next release, but we can promise we will do our best.

Please find here the first test label of JUSTPROUD. It’s for the clothing line our winner Daniel Hernandez made for us. So it’s called JUSTPROUD by Daniel Hernandez.

The sentence at the bottom of the label will be made by our members; in case you have a nice sentence, please feel free to send it us. In the next version we will support this with an application with which the members can vote for the most popular line. So it will be our own community driven fashion label!

In between the busyness we flew to Singapore to see if we can cooperate with some major players in the Asia Pacific region. This would be a great opportunity & the talks there were very inspiring! We will keep you updated.


Over the last months we are cooperating closely with Microsoft. The JUSTPROUD platform will be hosted on a new Microsoft Windows Azure Cloud platform. That will enable us (and other Microsoft clients) to easily handle the growth on a global scale. For both of us it will be exciting times.

To become a cool fashion community we will cooperate with http://thedigitalistas.com/ ; The new platform for all online fashion- and lifestyle editors. In peoples profile we will show their latest headlines, so our members are aware of the latest fashion developments.
