Surfing champion and Rip Curl team up on new collection

EIGHT-time world surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore has launched her first fashion collection with Torquay-born surf brand Rip Curl.

The Australian sports legend’s debut collection follows the announcement of her multi-million-dollar eight-year partnership with the company earlier this year.

The Rip Curl x Stephanie Gilmore Vol. 1 collection is a celebration of timeless surf style with modern edge.

Inspired by Rip Curl’s archives and Gilmore’s flair on the board, the collection is made of up surfwear essentials including wetsuits, swimwear, boardshorts and apparel.

Each piece incorporates two of Rip Curl’s most historic logos alongside athletic colour blocking and sports tape detailing.

Ms Gilmore said it was super fun to work closely with the Rip Curl team to produce the collection.

“It’s an everyday collection for beach life – a timeless surf capsule inspired by iconic Rip Curl logos from the ’70s with classic colours, all things that I love.”

 

Rip Curl women’s head of design Amy Findlay welcomed the new collection.

“Collaborating with Stephanie on her first signature collection was an inspiring two-way street,” she said.

“Her vision and personal style drove the creative direction, while we focused on refining the design details, construction, and fit.

“It was a true partnership, blending her authenticity with Rip Curl’s history and innovation.”

 

The Rip Curl x Stephanie Gilmore Vol. 1 collection is available now at select Rip Curl stockists and online at ripcurl.com/au
