Maltese fashion designers Charles & Ron have long been celebrated for their creativity and innovation, and their latest venture proves just that. The fashion duo designed a stunning leotard worn by Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, which was recently featured on the front cover of the prestigious TIME magazine.

Jordan Chiles was recently named one of TIME's Women of the Year alongside basketball player A'ja Wilson and actor Nicole Kidman. The American gymnast made waves during the Olympics with her Beyoncé-inspired floor routine, choosing to defy tradition with a bold, contemporary performance, in a category where others tend to stick to classical music.

Charles & Ron’s design for Jordan Chiles embodies the same boldness as her performance. The striking leotard they created for her perfectly complements her fearless, high-energy routines. This collaboration marks another success in the duo’s international recognition, as their distinctive designs continue to leave an impact beyond Malta's shores.

What a feature!
