Meaing of "fitting of"

Hi

Would you explain the meaning of this fitting "of" in the sentence below?

Also in attendance were Oakley Women’s ten new “Perform Beautifully” Ambassadors. These women were selected after entering a contest in which they were asked to describe how they “perform beautifully” and engage in an active lifestyle, fitting of an Oakley woman.

Thank you,

M

Thank you, CJ.

I understand your explanation but since it's "of an Oakley woman" not "of you" and I'm not sure what the subject is, I'm stiill confused. Would you rephrase the sentence for me?
