Havaianas Unveils the Chosen Designs with Threadless.com in the First Ever Flip-Flop Design Challenge

New York, NY, July 8, 2010 – Havaianas, the world’s most stylish and comfortable flip-flop, has joined forces with Threadless.com, the online community-based t-shirt company, to create a collection of limited edition sandals for summer 2010. Launching nationwide on July 12th, Havaianas and Threadless will unveil six designs from original artwork submitted and voted on by the Threadless community.

The popular trend of crowdsourcing has been quickly gaining force in the fashion world as companies are allowing the general public to be part of the artistic process. Havaianas wanted to involve their consumers and loyal fans in this inventive development by hosting the challenge in March 2010. The “Threadless Loves Havaianas” design challenge was Threadless’ first foray into the accessories category and the site’s first ever design challenge outside of tees. The site received over 600 design submissions from designers around the world. Ultimately, artists, Farhan Hassan from Singapore and Alvaro Arteaga Sabaini from Chile drew the highest scores and had their designs printed onto flip flops. The two joined the existing Threadless designs by Josh Perkins from Arizona, Jess Fink from New York, Ross Zietz from Chicago and Emmy Cicierega from Massachusetts to form the complete limited edition collection.
