Design a shoe

If you’ve ever fancied yourself as the next Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik, now’s your chance to prove it...

19/02/2010

Here at Fabulous we're unashamed shoe devotees, and that's why we launched the Heels That Heal campaign last year. Our latest initiative is to make a very special HTH pair of shoes - and we want you to design them!

We've teamed up with Faith to offer you the chance to get creative and see your design on sale in Faith stores across the UK and online as part of the autumn/winter 2010 collection. What's more, 20 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of each winning pair will go to Wellbeing of Women.

It's up to you to make the heels stand out. Whether they're sexy or stylish, platform or stiletto, we want your ideas!

HOW TO ENTER:

Send a colour drawing of your design, a description (up to 100 words long) and your contact details to Design A Shoe Competition, Fabulous, 1 Virginia Street, London E98 1SU or email them to designashoe@fabulousmag.co.uk. The winner will be selected by a judging panel that will include Fabulous editor Sally Eyden, fashion director Tracey Lea Sayer and Faith's head designer. Closing date for entries is March 29, 2010**.

THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE SHOE MAY BE SUBJECT TO AMENDMENT AND COLOUR VARIATION DUE TO PRODUCTION. ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM FAITH SHOES EMPLOYEES. THE JUDGES' DECISION IS FINAL. THE WINNING SHOE DESIGN WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BUY IN SELECTED FAITH STORES AND ONLINE.
