With stellar songs and showmanship, Lady Gaga made a splash at the 2024 Olympics with her performance.
The outfit features a sea of pink feathered accessories, like fans and pom poms, and this creation is from none other than a local business in the Karoo.

Cape Karoo International (CKI), which has provided feathers for various big fashion houses, was ecstatic by the performance inclusion. This inclusion is a stellar way to put South Africa on the map for textile production, which includes the success and worldwide recognition of this ostrich farm.
