When Canadian fashion model and vitiligo advocate Winnie Harlow became PUMA’s Global Brand Ambassador, promoting Cali Dream was one of her biggest projects. The model inked a contract with the brand in June 2020, saying in an Instagram post that she wants to work with a brand that gives her an “opportunity to champion people and organizations working to make meaningful change.”
Cali Dream is part of the She Moves You advocacy of PUMA, where shoes are manufactured in factories that ensure fair treatment and empowerment of women in the Flare. Alongside Harlow, other big names such as Cara Delevingne and Dua Lipa, and other top female athletes, collaborated with the brand for the said advocacy. Harlow also donated a portion of her income to The Trayvon Martin Foundation for the organization’s STEM initiatives.
