Washington, Sept 5 : Late Bob Marley's daughter, Cedella Marley, has been appointed as the official designer for Team Jamaica's uniforms for the London Olympics and Paralympics.

The 44-year-old revealed that reggae legend Bob, who lost his battle with cancer in 1981, as well as singer and style icon Grace Jones, influenced her collection.

"Dad has been a big part of everything that I've done with this collection," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"I'm all over the place with pride... If Dad was here, I think he would be pinching me now and I would be pinching him going, `Can you believe this?'

"I love playing with patterns, playing with textures. If you look at Dad and (his back-up singers) the I Threes and Grace Jones and put that together, you can get an idea for the look and feel of the collection," she added. (ANI)
