SOLZ Shoe company launches crowd-funding pre-order campaign.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


SOLZ shoe company launches crowd-funding pre-order campaign.

San Francisco, CA. 2011 - SOLZshoes (www.solzshoes.com) is proud to announce the prelaunch of their brand new roll-able casual shoe line. SOLZ are fashionable flats on the go that come in a convenient zip up capsule bag. The shoes are ultra-light and flexible – they can be folded or rolled and are designed to move naturally with your feet as you walk. They are all also machine washable.

From the same team that successfully launched The Walk Street Movement and Walksoftz “Roll-up ballet flats in the clutch” earlier this year, SOLZ shoes will initially be available in three distinct styles and more will be available soon. They are all based on a proprietary, patentpending versatile design emphasizing flexibility and comfort. SOLZ, Inc. is a local SF-based lifestyle company and has chosen to raise the funding necessary to order their shoes using SF based “crowd-funding” site IndieGoGo. Users can pre-order shoes for $33 per pair, a significant savings from the $59.99 expected normal retail price. They also offer opportunities to join their team as an “Affiliate Founding Partner” and order shoes by the dozen for resale. They even offer the chance to help design a custom shoe yourself. The offer is open only for the next 33 days.

Brad Carrick, founder of SOLZ and The Walk Street Movement, explained, “I love the idea of utilizing local technology to bring people together and make a creative idea possible. By crowd funding, we are able to offer our shoes at steep discounts and give people a chance to be part of the story of this company. We are very excited about our new shoes and looking forward to bringing them to market by the end of summer.”

Missed ‘THE BEAUTY EXPO 2011’?

Missed 'FASHION FEUD Finals 2011’?

Missed 'EN VOGUE’?


Missed 'PROJECT SAN FRANCISCO’?

This year’s “PRÊT-À-PORTER SF” 2011, with mass market in mind, was an amalgamation of global fashion, technology and sophistication.   Designers hailed from Ireland, The Middle East, South Africa, Thailand, China, Russia and the United States, which was a genuine representation of today’s global fashion.  Sustainable fashion and technology were also an apparent theme, with Carol Wang’s presentation of bamboo fabrics, Sonas Denim’s literal take on recycling of denims and the stylish integration of advanced materials and design with personal media technology by Alphyn Industries. Anya Tatarenko, Kajan Padraig  and LHC Couture with WorkPlayDate and Sasha Maksutenko jewelries, brought clean sophistication to the runway with beautifully fitted and elegant women’s ready to wear. Frankees Samad debuted her design with her personal modernizations of Islamic dress.

SFFAMA’s founder, Owen Geronimo, feels that San Francisco is now ready for a worldwide audience. “PRÊT-À-PORTER SF” 2011 is one of the many successful fashion events along, with Project San Francisco, The Beauty Expo, Fashion Feud, Fashion Mash-Up Workshops and San Francisco Fashion Week ™,  that SFFAMA has brought to fruition, which are all labors of love with strong community support.  One of SFFAMA’s main goals is to establish San Francisco as a global fashion destination and as a catalyst of fashion and technology convergence.  SFFAMA strongly believes in social good “to utilize fashion-to apply-to make impact” in our ongoing philanthropic efforts and mentorship program with our ‘Fashion4Good’ project.
