Rihanna wore custom-made gloves from Pécs to the Super Bowl halftime show, the biggest sporting event in the United States, the Pécs-Baranya Chamber of Commerce and Industry said in a Facebook post, first spotted by 24.hu.
According to the organization, several versions of the spectacular accessory were made for the singer, but in the end she and her stylists chose the fiery red, soft lambskin model. It's not the first time Rihanna has worn the label's products, but during her 13-minute concert at the sporting event, she chose the set shown in the footage as a form of tribute to fashion mogul Andre Leon Talley, former editor-in-chief of Vogue, who died last year.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry also points out that although local customers are hardly familiar with the brand name of Pécsi Gloves International, since the gloves are marketed under the name of Karma Pécsi Kesztyű in Hungary, PGI has several collaborations with famous stars. Domestically produced products are introduced to the international scene by designer Dorothy Gaspar (Dóra Gáspár), and Rihanna also received the red gloves for her recent performance through her.
