From the star-studded Olympics Opening Ceremony and the music lineup to exclusive sponsor collaborations, designer uniforms, and national costumes, the Games are a spectacle of athletic prowess and sartorial splendor.
The Games are graced by high-profile sponsors like LVMH, whose touch of luxury is evident in the design of the Olympic flame’s case and the medal podium crafted by Louis Vuitton. This year, athletes’ uniforms are the talk of the town, reflecting a blend of functionality and high fashion. French athletes are donning outfits designed by Stéphane Ashpool for Le Coq Sportif, while Canadian competitors will sport Lululemon’s floral prints and bold reds.
Kenzo’s Nigo has created striking judo uniforms for the French team, and Dior has designed competitive leotards for gymnast Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos. The opening and closing ceremonies are adorned with national costumes from top designers: Berluti for France, Kevin Germanier for the closing ceremony, Ralph Lauren for the U.S., Giorgio Armani for Italy, and Mongolian designs by Michel & Amazonka. Indonesia’s Didit Hediprasetyo merges traditional elements with modern style for his team, making the Olympic uniforms a feast for the eyes.
