Kenadian Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I like the grey jacket look of the French Team, but why are the models so pissed off? Did they accosted by the colouful dancing German team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Models always have that angry look, it seems. CNOSF apparently decided to part ways with longtime sponsor Adidas. Bad enough for it already lost FFF to Nike but since regained France's rugby federation. What's going to be the Lacoste medal stand look?

gotosy Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 JOC Reveals Official Clothing for the Sochi Winter Olympics The Japanese representatives will wear navy training jackets at commendation ceremonies and press conferences. On the back of the jacket, the gold-lettered "JAPAN" is printed. The athletes can easily adjust temperatures by the detachable down jacket inside. At the opening and closing ceremony, the Japanese Olympians will wear hooded white long coats that will keep them warm in the cold Russian city. http://www.japanholidays.com.au/joc-reveals-official-clothings-sochi-winter-olympics/joc-reveals-official-clothing-sochi-winter JOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 That's true. Totally exchangeable and forgettable - looks like one has seen those uniforms a dozen of times before. But it's quite a tradition in Japan to avoid bolder fashion statements in the Olympics, isn't it? I just remind of the traditional "red and white" combination the Japanese athletes wore at opening ceremonies for decades (also in London 2012). Japan's fashion statements in Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 were a little bit too bold, however: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotosy Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Olympic Team USA uniforms get Made in USA label NEW YORK (AP) — Team USA will now wear the Made in the USA label. Every article of clothing made by Ralph Lauren for the U.S. Winter Olympic athletes in Sochi, including their opening and closing ceremony uniforms and their Olympic Village gear, has been made by domestic craftsman and manufacturers. During the 2012 games in London, it was a flashpoint in the media and among Washington politicians that much of the U.S. apparel was made overseas, especially in China. Ralph Lauren Corp., which has been making most of the athletes' clothes since 2008 when it took over from Canadian clothier Roots, got the message. "We have worked incredibly hard as a company to go across America to find the best partners to help us produce the Olympic uniforms at the highest quality for the best athletes in the world," said David Lauren, the company's executive vice president of advertising, marketing and corporate communications. They used more than 40 vendors, from ranchers in the rural West to yarn spinners in Pennsylvania to sewers in New York's Garment District for the closing ceremony outfits unveiled Tuesday. The ensemble includes a navy peacoat with a red stripe, a classic ski sweater with a reindeer motif and a hand-sewn American flag, and a tasseled chunky-knit hat. (Individual clothes for competition are made by different, mostly athletic-gear brands, depending on the sport, technical aspects and sponsorship deals. Those outfits didn't seem part of the earlier overseas outcry, but some companies, such as The North Face, which is making the freeskiing uniforms, have committed to U.S. manufacturing, too.) Figure skater Evan Lysacek, who won gold in Vancouver in 2010, said the ceremonial uniforms make the athletes stand a little prouder. "As an athlete, the clothing means even more than you'd think. The training, the sacrifices, the lifestyle, which is not glamorous and can be grueling and trying at times, all seem to come together in the moment when you realize you are part of the Olympic team," he said. "The moment you put on those first pieces of the American team clothes, you feel like it's real." ...

krow Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 cool peacoat. it's always pretty humiliating that canada is typically dressed better than we are. but red's a great color, so what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is that Lysacek? He looks like a grinch there. Re US outfits, well, if they don't look particularly stylish, it's because they're made at cost...and Ralph Lauren doesn't even break even being the Official Outfitter of the US Team. I'm sure if the USOC allowed him to make a little profit, he could come up with even BETTER outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Often in a lot of cases since the 1990s, black is used more as an accent color. But as the US luge unis illustrate can dominate the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martijn Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The Netherlands: Fall 2013 – Suitsupply is getting into the Olympic spirit with a new capsule collection that captures the European fashion brand’s twin passions: craftsmanship and creativity. The colorful-yet-wearable take on traditional tailoring is built around an exclusive tweed check inspired by the Dutch national colors — as well as the deep orange turrets of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square and classic Russian paintings. “The collection has a definite Dutch feel with a twist of Russian luxury”, says Fokke de Jong, CEO and founder of the Amsterdam-based brand. The collection consists of a blue knit wool jacket, a slim denim shirt, a check waistcoat, gray flannel cargo pants, and a bowtie — all of which go perfectly together or with Suitsupply’s rich, luxurious Fall/Winter collection. There are also several chic women’s pieces in the mix, including a cocktail dress made from the exclusive tweed check; a classic crop jacket; and a tailored check jacket, which pairs perfectly with a white oxford shirt, navy cardigan, and jeans. “While these pieces aren’t made to skate or ski jump in,” says de Jong, “this collection combines well with gold, silver and brass and is more than appropriate for collecting our medals.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoMYbXhfVUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Oooooooooo. The Dutch (men) are the most stylish so far. But I don't know how that short-short skirt will feature in the Opening. It will still be cold when they move from the Hockey stadium to Fisht. (And what about when they return to the Village??)
