Stay-tuned as Superga reveals who else is participating in their "Proud To Be..." campaign.
ITALY
Sisters Roberta and Jess Pecoraro shared their story of growing up in Australia with Italian heritage with Superga.
"Growing up in Italy is an experience like no other - one that I hope to give to Harley someday soon. It embodies both pure simplicity and total dreaminess all at the same time. Robby and I are lucky enough to call Italy home. Home to our nonna, family, friends and memories that shape who we are today. From memories of me watching my mum sketch and bring to life fashion shows, to summer holidays eating fresh ricci straight from the ocean to getting married in Taormina and creating childhood memories again as an adult with Harley. It is a place like no other. Even the small and often mundane details of everyday life are filled with the magic of 'La Dolce Vita'. Fashion. Food. Culture. Beauty. Passion. All in one spot."
JAPAN
Model Sol Hashimoto shared his story of growing up in Australia and Brazil with Japanese heritage.
"Being of Samurai decent is something I'll always cherish. Although I haven't been lucky enough to visit Japan, learning and discovering my Japanese heritage and history has always been important to me and shaped the person I am today. I grew up in Brazil & Australia, but I've always been proud of my Samurai bloodline."
THE UNITED KINGDOM
Jewellery mogul Charlotte Freeman will share her story of growing up in Australia and living abroad in the UK.
"Grateful to have lived all over the world, and now I'm proud to be residing in the UK and discovering more everyday."
THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA
Editor of 'This is Nice', Jax Raynor, shares her story of growing up in the USA and calling Australia home.
"I grew up on a small island off the east coast in the US, where most of my family still resides today. I don't have kids but I would think it would take two pretty strong parents to let their daughter move across the world to Australia. It's been nearly six years since I moved here and two years since I've seen them. I feel their love and support everyday whether it's over FaceTime or a quick text to check in and say hi. I'm proud to have such amazing parents. Without them I wouldn't be who I am today."
