PUMA® TEAMS UP WITH SOLANGE AND LAUNCHES THE ‘GIRLS OF BLAZE DISC’ COLLECTION

Sport brand PUMA® announced late last year a special relationship with

singer, songwriter, record producer, model, and influencer Solange who will act as a creative

consultant for the brand and lend her creative talents to PUMA’s Women’s Lifestyle category.

This February marks the launch of the Girls of Blaze Disc Collection, which see’s Solange as

artistic creative consultant and art director for this fashionable Women’s only collection,

featuring four unique styles of the PUMA Disc Blaze. All visual and creative digital content in

support of this release was managed, photographed and styled by Solange.

The Girls of Blaze Disc Collection will be exclusively released by Opening Ceremony from

February 7th – February 22nd, followed by key US-based only specialists like RIME, Revolve and

American Rag, as well as department stores, such as Nordstrom and Fred Segal from February

22nd, nationwide.

The Girls of Blaze Disc Collection was inspired by the sights and sounds of Brasil. With all eyes

on Brasil in 2014 for the world’s largest soccer event, Solange celebrates the nation’s spirit with

this collection. She enlisted four up-and-coming designers to put their own creative spin on

PUMA’s Disc Blaze style. Gerlan Marcel of GERLAN JEANS; visual artist, musician, and

photographer Hisham Baroocha; and Darlene and Lizzy Okpo, design team for the women’s

wear collection William Okpo, have each created their own colorful interpretation of the PUMA

Disc.

In addition to this product collaboration, Solange recently curated and art directed digital

content for PUMA with WhoWhatWear.com, where she hand selected four up-and-coming “It

Girls” of various industries to be featured highlighting styles from PUMA’s Women’s lifestyle

collections. In addition Solange has put her creative talents to work on additional PUMA

Women's lifestyle media and marketing focused initiatives, lending her creative eye and fashion

sense to the category. These programs will be released in the coming months
