Carissa Moore is one of the 18 ambassadors selected by French fashion house Dior to represent the brand at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The five-time world champion surfer ranks among the elite group of sportswomen chosen for the marketing campaign put out by the luxury label.
The publicity stunt features the female athletes in creative scenarios and poses.
Moore, 31, was shot by photographer Lindsay Ellary riding a pair of scissors and getting barreled inside a navy blue velvet fabric, tarp surfing-style.
Dior has also featured French skateboarder Louise-Aïna Taboulet in the photo series, which will be displayed at Le Café Dior in La Galerie Dior in Paris from July 24 to September 9, 2024.
