"I think everything starts for me with authenticity. Collaborating with a brand like Porsche is such a great privilege. I'm a huge fan to start with, but it's authentic because my passion for the brand goes as far back as I can remember."
"It really was an organic thing. A few years ago, I took myself to Stuttgart to custom build a 911 GT3 Touring, about which I was over the moon. It was a sort of gift to myself. I've driven a lot of great cars in my time, but for me, Porsche is the driver's car."
"We really see your enthusiasm, and we're looking for somebody to partner with us on the design front. And so, it all came about very naturally out of them just seeing my genuine passion for the brand."
Orlando Bloom, a blockbuster actor who spent his early career focused on film work, has recently pursued his passion for Porsche automobiles as he approaches 50. His interest began with a 1973 911S purchased in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. This genuine enthusiasm led to a creative collaboration with Porsche Design, resulting in a capsule collection featuring sunglasses and a hooded leather bomber. Bloom emphasizes authenticity as central to his approach, noting his long-standing passion for the brand. The partnership emerged organically after he custom-built a 911 GT3 Touring in Stuttgart, where Porsche team members recognized his enthusiasm and invited him to collaborate on design projects.
