NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026
NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Original Penguin by Munsingwear has officially named acclaimed Mexican actor and filmmaker Sebastián Zurita as its Fall Brand Ambassador. Shot on location in and around Mexico City, the dynamic new campaign features Zurita showcasing the brand’s Fall sportswear collection alongside its signature fragrance, Premium Blend.
As one of the most versatile talents of his generation, Zurita naturally embodies Original Penguin’s casually cool, creative spirit. Whether commanding attention on screen or directing behind the camera, his effortless style and authentic charisma align seamlessly with the brand’s heritage of celebrating self-expression and originality.
“Sebastián’s confidence, versatility, and unique sense of style perfectly represent the Original Penguin ethos,” said Todd Challe, SVP Marketing and Communications. “We are thrilled to collaborate with him for our Fall campaign as we highlight both our modern sportswear line and the timeless appeal of Premium Blend.”
Alongside the new apparel collection, the campaign shines a fresh spotlight on Premium Blend, the brand’s flagship ocean-inspired scent. Crafted by Master Perfumer Harry Frémont of Firmenich, the fresh, invigorating fragrance blends bright lime peel and crisp bergamot with wild spearmint, Mediterranean rosemary and violet leaves, grounded by fresh musk, driftwood and earthy vetiver for an effortlessly masculine finish. The long-lasting fragrance is housed in a frosted bottle finished with a distinctive whiskey-inspired wax cap.
“Joining Original Penguin felt like a completely natural fit. I’m thrilled to be part of this new chapter, one that connects a rich heritage with a vision that’s both versatile and authentic.” said Sebastian Zurita
The Fall sportswear collection and Premium Blend fragrance are available now at select retailers nationwide and online at originalpenguin.com.
