PedElle is seeking a design guru to create a jersey to be made by sportswear brand Rapha which will be worn by riders on day two of this year’s three-day ride from Vienna to Budapest in June.
PedElle has asked eight designers from the pedElle community to participate in the competition: Sarah Featherstone (Featherstone Young), Anna Parry (Hayes Davidson), Juliet Quintero (Dallas-Pierce-Quintero), Harriet Bourne (BBUK), Sinead Conneely (Simple-Works), Riette Oosthuizen (HTA), Paola Zanotto (KCA) and Natasha Bonugli (Unispace).
The competition and production of the jersey is sponsored by Karakusevic Carson Architects. The designs will be revealed and votes cast on 17 March.
The ride will be fundraising for children’s charity Coram.
