About Quiksilver Women’s Ambassador Program

In July 2008, a new female clothing range was launched under the Quiksilver brand. Designed for radiant women with an independent vision, this new line brought a fashion touch to the boardriding company.

To accompany the range, Quiksilver is encouraging and supporting young talented women around the globe who embody the spirit of the Quiksilver brand. Our ambassadors are artists from the worlds of music, art, photography, philanthropy, fashion and beyond. These women represent our brand; they inspire us and make us dream. Quiksilver has chosen to follow these women in their creative journeys by providing them with valuable tools and resources to help them create an expression that is all their own. Whether it is via their songs, their photographs or their writing, these women all have one thing in common: they are all creative spirits with a message to be heard.
