The Long Run
A tribute to female athletes.
The achievements of women in the most varied sports are a symbol of evolution and empowerment in a world originally restrict to men.
The Long Run collection honors the female athletes who have opened doors to women’s sports, those who have traveled the first kilometers towards gender equality in sports. We still haven’t reached the finish line, but we’re continuing our journey to complete this marathon.

In honor of Maria Teresa de Filippis, pioneer in the world of motorsport. Maria was the runner-up in the prestigious Italian Speed Championship, and was the first female driver to compete in Formula One.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn’t allowed in a photo because I wasn’t wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.
