On the week of the late Jamaican reggae icon Bob Marley’s birthday, it has been announced that his daughter – fashion designer Cedella Marley – will design the PUMA Jamaican Track and Field team’s Olympic, podium and ceremony wear for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The designs will be worn by the entire team, including three-time Jamaican Olympic gold medallist and fastest man in the world Usain Bolt – with Bolt endorsing the decision, saying that he can’t think of a better person to design Jamaica’s Olympic outfits than Cedella. The collection will incorporate high tech fabrics and silhouettes engineered to enhance the performance of all the athletes.
