Following in the wake of crowd-inspired, crowd-designed and crowd-funded favorites like SellABand and Threadless, UsTrendy.com invites fashion designers to upload their designs to be voted on by site users.
The designs with the most votes are then produced and promoted by UsTrendy – giving talented designers the chance to get noticed and UsTrendy a ready-made market.
UsTrendy also invites would-be models and artists to participate in much the same way – expanding its scope beyond designers.
In their own words:
Whether you want to pursue your talent as a career or just as a hobby, you can share your work here. You may win cool prizes, gain industry exposure, make money, or earn help with promotion and product development. At the very least, you’ll get feedback from the fans.
We love this model – talented people get a shop front and promotion and the business gets to find out what’s cool before they invest in producing it.
Surely an ideal mix for other industries too – and aspiring entrepreneurs in those industries. Maybe even one for big brands to adopt for their own product lines.
