Laura Abla, German influencer and partner of Spain star Dani Olmo, wore a custom jacket at the World Cup final that has half the world talking. About the jacket, the brand and the details behind it.

Just a few days ago, this jacket didn't exist. An atelier in South Korea crafted it in just four days, sent it to New York, and Laura Abla wore it to the final of the World Cup 2026 at MetLife Stadium, where her partner Dani Olmo became world champion with Spain.

The German model was a regular at the stadium throughout the tournament, and fashion outlets named her the best-dressed WAG of the World Cup. For the final, she had saved her most striking piece.

Nubi, sashiko, four days: The making of Laura Abla's custom jacket

The jacket was crafted by Fabriqué en Récré, or FER, a label from South Korea. Olmo's No. 10 shirt served as the template, reworked into a distressed look with visible signs of wear. The brand combines nubi, a traditional Korean quilting technique, with Japanese sashiko stitching, a centuries-old method of reinforcing and decorating fabric by hand.

FER lists the piece officially as Artisanal Piece Vol. 266, created exclusively for Laura Abla, styled by Morena Verović. The brand names 17 July 2026 as the jacket's birth date, two days before the final. Abla herself revealed that the piece was made within just four days and flown to New York.

From Ronaldo to Olmo: The series behind Laura Abla's jacket

The Olmo jacket belongs to an ongoing series. Just before it, FER released Vol. 265, a tribute to Ronaldo's 1998–99 season at Inter Milan: a jacket where the hand-stitched No. 9 only becomes visible when it catches the light.

For Laura Abla, the jacket was the closing statement of a tournament that shaped her style like no other WAG: a vintage Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket in Spain's flag colours, a tank top featuring a childhood photo of Olmo, and a Chanel football necklace from the Karl Lagerfeld era, which she wore as a lucky charm at every match. Ahead of the final, she said she wanted to show up as a "cool girl."
