PUMA: Built for Moi

I am a lucky girl. Earlier this month I found out that I have been selected as one of PUMA's T7 ambassadors which means that today, I had the absolute priviledge of designing my very own, custom PUMA T7 track jacket at the PUMA Creative Factory 'Built for One' Workshop in Johannesburg.

What an incredible opportunity it was. You always take for granted just how much work goes into making an actual garment, but it was so exciting to get to choose the fabric colour combinations, panels, zippers, collar, cuffs and waistband that would be going onto my T7 jacket.

The classic PUMA T7 jacket has been around for 40 years and it has cult status amongst rockstars and other celebs. The other T7 ambassadors in South Africa include Janine Jellars, Liesel van der Westhuizen, Jack Parrow, Lindiwe Suttle, Milisuthando Bongela, Chantelle Da Silva and Sais du Plessis - yes, I am in very good company. What's also great is that the PUMA creative Factory 'Built for One workshops have also been taking lace around the world.

So on the 29th of February we will all be unveiling our T7 jackets at the PUMA Creative Factory Built for One Event at Earthlife in Cape Town. Not only is this event open to the public, but 100 members of the public will, on that day, also get the chance to customise a T7 jacket, by drawing inspiration from our jackets, at a cost of R699.

The jacket is literally made right in front of your eyes! As you can imagine, I am super excited about the event. If you're in Cape Twon and would like to come to the event, visit PUMA.com/CreativeFactory. Or you could pre-order your T7 jacket by emailing a booking request to  builtforone@puma.co.za.

Excited is my name! Thank you PUMA.
