Hey ThisNext fashion fans! We have a brand new weekly feature up our sleeve called ThisNext Designer of the Week where we feature hot new designers, the products they love and we even giveaway a piece from their collection.  Pretty sweet huh?

This week’s designer is Joe Ponce of Velvet Angels.  Here is a little info on Velvet Angeles for those who aren’t familiar … 

Velvet Angels is a line of luxury attainable footwear for the sexy-yet-sweet woman in her 20s. It was created by Joe Ponce, former lead designer for Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers shoe lines and automotive-design innovator. Promising traffic-stopping “street couture” style coupled with meticulous attention to workmanship and detail, the line garners inspiration from the current version of “Romeo and Juliet.” For more information, log on to velvetangels.com. 

Joe is giving away a pair of shoes from his collection to one lucky ThisNext user.  Simply tag your recommendations “TN Fashion” for a chance to win the Charlatan Shoes (Lindsay Lohan picked up a pair last week).  Good luck and stay tuned every Tuesday when we announce the new designer of the week.

 Check out a few of Joe’s favorite things …
