This is what I have been up to for the last 2-3 weeks - aside from teaching primary kids all day! ha! I've been designing and creating a zine for my mate Bens shoe company 'TRASH FOOTWEAR'.... it is such an amazing brand/company/concept/philosophy and I know it is just gonna go viral out there in the world!! His shoes/sandals are freakin cool and they are pretty much entirely made from recycled/reused waste!! Awesome!! Plus there are just so many options for materials etc - I want like a million custom-made pairs!
I had told my class about what I was doing and I took a pair of shoes in to school and they just went nuts over them - plus the teachers were all wanting to order multiple pairs! I think people are really attracted to the idea of reusing their own materials and/or of custom making a pair of sandals.... these are gonna kick ass over summer!! If you buy a pair you will get a copy of my zine! WooooHoooo! :-)
Here are the zine pages...... next step Blog City!! Let me know what you think! xoxox
