HOW TO BUILD A GLOBAL FASHION BUSINESS

Edwin Neo | The 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2012 | Fast Company: "WHAT:
Bespoke men's shoes from Singapore
HOW DO YOU BRING INNOVATION TO A CATEGORY LIKE FOOTWEAR?
"The dress-shoe market for men in Singapore is pathetic; the prices are either astronomical or the quality is pitiable. We're filling this gap. Our designers go through an intensive training process to learn the craft. Our shoes spend weeks on the mold to better conform to customers' feet; most designers do this for only one day."

WHAT GOES INTO COMMUNICATING YOUR BRAND'S ESSENCE?
"Because we produce so many custom pieces---which can take months---it's hard to advertise, in a traditional sense, what we do and why we do it. Education about our craft is the way forward. We've relied on word of mouth and social media to reach the customers who really care about our work.""
