\n\t\u201cThe car was so cool,\u201d he says, laughing at the memory, \u201cand it made you look cool to even stand next to it, so I got photos in front of it with my best friend. I remember at 11 years old thinking, one day,\u201d he paused. \u201cThis is definitely the dream.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe actor, still revered as Legolas from his cult breakout role in Lord of the Rings, and to others, Will Turner of the famed Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, has evolved as a genuine connoisseur of luxury since being named a Porsche Design<\/a> brand ambassador in 2025. His relationship with the Stuttgart manufacturer, however, predates any title and is considerably more personal.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tBloom working on bringing the collection to life.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPorsche Design<\/p>\n \n\tAt the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles<\/a> this month, Orlando Bloom speaks less like a celebrity brand ambassador and more like a devoted enthusiast. The actor\u2019s long-standing relationship with Porsche, rooted in his boyhood obsession of vintage 911s and a recent pilgrimage to Stuttgart to spec his own GT3 Touring,<\/a> laid the groundwork for his collaboration with Porsche Design unveiled today: a refined capsule of three Targa Sunglasses, alongside a limited-edition jacket he seemingly genuinely rhapsodizes over with the passion of a serious collector.<\/p>\n \n\tThe sunglasses take their cue from the 911 Targa<\/a>\u2014an iconic model named after the century-old Sicilian road race, the Targa Florio, long associated with Porsche\u2019s motorsport legacy. \u201cThe Targa is an insane vehicle,\u201d Bloom said. \u201cThis car is the example of Porsche\u2019s excellence in design, function, and form.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe design language of the eyewear<\/a> draws specifically from the Targa\u2019s roll bar, a defining structural element that debuted in 1965 as a safety solution for open-top driving that has since become one of Porsche\u2019s most recognizable signatures. Its curvature is translated into an oversized shield silhouette with a forward cut-out construction that feels both technical and architectural.<\/p>\n \n\tBloom didn\u2019t reinvent the form, he customized it, much like a Porsche owner could with a base model at the manufacturing facility in Germany. The shield-style<\/a> frames reinterpret the silhouette of the 911 Targa in a lightweight titanium, finished with a clean, aerodynamic profile. \u201cThe shape was already great,\u201d Bloom says. \u201cI just wanted to personalize the details\u2014the finishes, the colors, the way it feels when you wear it.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tTwo of the three sleek pairs on offering in Bloom\u2019s new collection.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPorsche Design<\/p>\n \n\tThe result is three configurations, though Bloom admits the collection was initially meant to include only two references until, unable to choose, he pushed for a third. As he lists the available colorways, the actor includes where they might belong in the wild: titanium and black with a grey lens for every day, gold and olive green with a brown lens for a seasonal mountain escape, and black and palladium with a punchy blue mirrored lens for a beach day in Ibiza. Each pair features \u201cVision Drive\u201d technology, engineered for specific road conditions and exceptional clarity for everyday wear, reflecting the brand\u2019s enduring commitment to performance-led design.<\/p>\n \n\tAccompanying the eyewear is a sleek but technical leather jacket, which Bloom was sporting proudly throughout the afternoon. A reversible, boxy structure in water-repellent black leather, it features a two-way zipper, adjustable cord stoppers, and perforated leather ventilation beneath the arms. \u201cThis is more than just a jacket,\u201d Bloom says, as he enthusiastically unzips hidden vents and pockets to demonstrate its utility. \u201cI figured, what are the essentials for a driver? Sunglasses, a watch, and a lightweight jacket that you can get in and out of the car with. Simple things that represent the vision of F.A. Porsche himself who was a design genius.\u201d Subtle Porsche Design branding is emblazoned on the left sleeve, balanced with Orlando Bloom\u2019s \u201cOB\u201d initials on the right.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe Targa Sunglasses<\/a> retail for $655, and the leather jacket<\/a> for $2,850, both available now. \u201cI\u2019m just very happy to be a part of the family and to be able to have this creative outlet,\u201d he shares. \u201cAnd now, I want to make a pant to go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n \tAuthors<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\t\tTaylor Stoddard\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n Taylor Stoddard is a freelance journalist covering the intersections of luxury and culture from haute horology to hidden-gem hotels, and celebrity interviews on the passions that define them\u2026<\/p>\n![\"Orlando](\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
