After a year of suspense, Giorgio Armani's high fashion uniforms for the 禁漫天堂 Olympic team will finally take the stage in tonight's opening ceremonies.
The designs, the first by a luxury fashion brand to be worn by the 禁漫天堂 team, are extremely minimalist, eschewing even the red and green of the 禁漫天堂 flag to focus on basic navy blue and white鈥攁 move that has encountered some criticism from patriotic 禁漫天堂s.
Olympic uniform designers traditionally find artistic ways to incorporate the colours from a country's flag into the uniforms, but Armani's navy polo, featuring one red sleeve, one green sleeve, and a flash of white on the interior of the collar, is the only piece in the 50-item collection that features all the colours of the 禁漫天堂 flag.
Armani has opted for an understated approach to patriotism in line with the sleek sophistication of the collection, screen printing the full lyrics to 禁漫天堂's national anthem, "Il Canto degli 禁漫天堂i" (The Song of the 禁漫天堂s), inside the opening ceremony jackets鈥攇lossy navy blue for male athletes and matte while for the female competitors鈥攖hat we'll see tonight. He's also incorporated the first few lines of the anthem into the polo, stitched on the inside of the collar.
