Summer Olympics High Fashion

Did you watch the Opening Ceremony of the London Summer Olympics? Which country do you think  was the Best Dressed during the Athletes parade?  Before the Olympics began, there were big news about the Olympic Uniforms of some countries, particularly, for the United States, United Kingdom and Italy.  As for the United States, their Olympic Uniform was designed by American Designer Ralph Lauren, United Kingdom's Olympic Uniform was designed by British Designer, Stella McCartney and Italy's was designed by Italian Designer, Giorgio Armani. They were all looking so decent and fashionable. Then there was some controversy for the Americans as their uniform was designed by Ralph Lauren but Made in China. American politicians caused quite a furor in the USA about this arrangement in both the local and foreign press, Team USA Uniform Controversy.  There is now news that in 2014, the Team USA Olympic Uniform will be Made in the USA.  No fury for Stella McCartney's design for the UK Olympic Team. As for the Italians, well, they even had a fashion show to showcase Mr. Armani's design for the Team Italy. The Olympics now is no longer just a competition of sport but also a competition in Fashion!  Well, the Olympics is a perfect place to showcase your country not only in Sport but also in sportmanship, character and also in Fashion.
