Considering Mongolia has only ever won 2 gold medals in their Olympian history, it's awesome that they won the Haute LeMode gold medal for clothes!
Love it! Love it. It just represents their country, history, ans culture.
Yes! I loved that they really knocked everyone out with their fits.
Love it ❤
Mongolia was Haute Gold.
La mode (feminine gender word)
Sri lankan outfit was hand embroidered with thousands of tiny beads per one outfit. And as a sri lankan i can say it's a great representation of traditional upper class wear from 17th-18th century. ❤ Thank you for acknowledging the fine hardwork our local craftsmen put into the fit..
A proud Mongolian here!!! So happy to see the whole world talking about our beautiful designs 🥹🌷
A huge congratulations to Michel & Amazonka team.
Between this, the dancing, and the music you guys are killin' it!
🇺🇸here. Mongolia was🔥.
Yes beautiful just lovely
yess

@@IsAName1 wheres new zealand - i liked their olympic uniform
😭😭😭😭💖💖💖thank youuu
There is no Indonesia?? How can u missed Indonesia
I’ll be your 101 like😂
Haïtian here, after months of unrest we can finally celebrate something: FASHION AND ART!! Our country is known for it's intricate paintings, music and colorful fashion, so I am so happy they came up with these looks. Absolutely gorgeous. GOLD all around for Mongolia and Haïti!!!
🇭🇹🎉
My thoughts to Haïti, you deserve some peace and joy ! such creative people !
My favorite!
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹❤❤❤
The Haitians have a very sophisticated culture and have lots to offer. All the Haitians I’ve met have been fantastic people, kind and friendly.
Mongolia, Haiti and Sri Lanka were lovely! Also Philippines had a separate beautiful opening ceremony uniform, and the Sri Lankan bottoms are called “Sarongs”. I usually LOVE Indian designs, but these sarees are really giving government worker slash school teacher uniforms.
Gold-mongolia, silver-sri lanka, bronze-haiti. The rest of the world- thank you for participating
😂
Best summary 😄
Exactly my feelings; for all three! Poland was not far behind; same as with Shri Lanka, Austria, and Turkey... they could have doubled up on medals for them all, ahah! Those are people of great taste and artistry and they know how to show it! I also went crazy with France's lapels. But the vest needed something serious about the arms... a great thing the athletes are much tanned. I understand their concept of the Effiel Tower shape, however. But the old look of the old-fashioned Air France hostesses needed perhaps a little bit more thinking. Enough of the soft shapeless for all occasions. There are so many ways to find comfort in clothing, and yet show pride in who and what we are, and/or represent!
I also liked Australia's. The ombre skirts were cute.
@@catladyfromky4142 I don't love the teal and yellow -- I know those are the national colors based on the national color but they don't look good together
As a Sri Lankan I am IN LOVE with our team's hand-embroidered uniform!! Huge step up from 2020. To me it's really giving Kandyan royal/noble wear, and I think that was the idea. Stunning. Love the overall unisex aspect of them too. The "skirt" worn by men is a sarong, which is commonly worn in South/Southeast Asia and parts of Arabia and Africa. It's like a tube of fabric that's tied/folded in front.
The main motif is a lotus flower, some are arranged into "chakras" that also look like lily pads. It's really neat
The designer they chose, Lovi Ceylon, specializes in traditional style clothes such as the wedding dress, which is based on the aforementioned Kandyan royal attire. So it's a great fit!
Bravo, mage rata!!! 🇱🇰💖
I think after this year with Mongolia getting so much press, other countries will be more creative with their outfits at the next Olympics. What a great way to get publicity for your country!
Hey the french suit reaction made me think: Have you ever reacted to different airline uniforms?? That could be a fun video!
Emirates would slay
I used to have a friend who designed airline attendants uniforms and for the most part I thought they were cheesy and awful but I never said that to them
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹! Proud Haïtian here! I've know about the uniform for weeks and was wondering if u were going to comment. And tadaaa! Here you are with a video.
Also: the "print" is actually a painting created by a respected Haitian painter (Phillipe Doddard). To put it in perspective, my mom saw his name and gasped that he collaborated. Painting in my culture is a big deal. You don't walk into a household without some kind of art and then there's the best of the best and Doddard is one. He was asked to create something for the uniform. So this is custom.
with this detail the looks became even more impressive)
Also love the shape of women's garment - while it may be not eveyone's cup of tea, the siluette looks like it would be very flattering to all the varying body shapes.
that's really cool! they're wearing art.
Saaaaaame! I had to send it to my mother asap. Haiti's fit eats down and I'm so prouuuuud 🇭🇹
Haiti rocked it
🇺🇸
Haiti, absolutely the best. Give her the gold medal!

I dont know why but it really bugs me that lululemon has slapped their logo on the front of all the Canadian outfits
Agree
I don't mind they're probably paying for the sponsor after all. But I wish they didn't use full length track suits made of spandex and nylon because a lot of those Canadian athletes are going to be actually dying in the heat. They should have put them in cottons and linens and added a hat for fashion and sun protection.
Agreed. The logo could have just been done in red embroidery to camouflage it.
but so did adidas with the german team. it's the sponsoring part of everything
Same. It gives "Vancouver" vibes
I’m glad you included Team Sri Lanka. The skirts they were wearing are actually called sarongs. Typically, the draping styles for men and women have subtle differences. These outfits carry a rich history and have many stories to tell.
Proud Mongolian here. Really glad our fashion is getting global recognition, thanks to M&A. There is big discourse around the origins of the design within the locals, but I personally think it is very Mongolian and very amazing
This, dancing, and music! You guys are killing it! Realized yesterday I'm a fan of TWO Mongolian bands!
yes
Yes, it is Mongolian. Mongolian clothes are suitable for horse riding, archery etc. Thus, clothes have belts, tend to be tighter around belly area, to not forbid movement the body area is not too tight. Shoes are suitable for horse riding, great for walking on the difficult places like forest, desert, mountains. Plus, standing collars were in nomadic empires many centuries ago too. Those who are doubting the origin should have debate with the mother nature and warrior lifestyle.
It's crazy how Mongolians look at our Inuits here in Quebec and the Nunavut. Even some of the clothing is similar in the shapes and colors!
@@luludesu9899 my bad gang sorry
Per team Poland. I'm happy you liked it! The collection was created by a brand from Poznań called Bizuu. Generally in previous years our team usually got more sporty looks, and they told the designers they had felt a bit too casual compared to others. Looking for more "elegant" inspirations, they turned to Polish sportswear from interwar period. The jumper is not really inspired by cricket, but by outfits worn by Polish athletes in the 20s and 30s. Tbh an average Pole wouldn't even be able to tell you the rules of cricket, so. Oh, and the flowery motifs are based on iconic (for us, at least) Koniaków lace.
The Haitian's male model is wearing a "Karabela", it's a shirt with 4 pockets made in a fabric called chambray. It's a traditional shirt.
that’s good to know!!!
Ooh, didn't know it had a name. Learned something new! Just knew that I've seen that shirt design a ton of times before.
Very interesting information! thank you
Is it not a "Gwayabèl" ?
I think it's called a Guayabera! not sure in haitian creole though.
Mongolia and Sri Lanka for the opening ceremony looks. I LOVED Turkey's tone on tonish opening look blazer and their podium looks. I want to to touch the fabric on those track suits!!! I'd want to wear Haiti's ceremony look. The print was gorgeous. This was a fun watch!!!
Team Sri Lanka outfit is also on point. However, Team Mongolia outfit really resonated with a lot of people because of how thoughtful and committed the whole outfit is. They picked a historical outfit and updated it with limited touches of modern aesthetic, ie the sleeves. The bags could have been square or plain but the attention they paid to the tassel for the bags speaks volumes about the sisters' commitment to detail. Team Guatemala is following team Mongolia footsteps. Haiti is also delivering as well!
proud of Mongolia
To me, India also managed to show culture and still look classy. I loved theirs so much!
Love team Mongolia and Sri Lanka! The embroidery of both uniform are so intricate and beautiful!! It's like a work of art✨
Mongolia has already slayed the fashion Olympics!🔥
I love Mongolian, Sri Lankan and Haitian Olympic uniforms the most 😍
As an Indian i am very disappointed .
We have such rich history in traditional embroidery, textile yet what we got was school independence day uniform.
I was surprised to see such a lack of embroidery on the Indian opening ceremony outfits.
@@vbrown6445 the designer cheaped out. That kind of fabric is literally worn by kids on republic day parades 😭
Yes. The world wanted more from india. But it was still nice👋🏾🇺🇸
I feel very proud and happy as a Sri Lankan. Many people from foreign countries have chosen Sri Lanka's uniform, along with Mongolia and Haiti.
Sri Lanka’s uniforms, created by Lovi Ceylon, are a nod to history. The white garments use silk, handmade embroidery, and beadwork to represent the looks of the royal courts of the 19th century. ❤️🔥
To me Indian male uniform looks very nice,light and modern. Suitable for summer. Women's clothes on the other hand is very underperforming. I agree that it lacks that indian luxury, embroidery and little details. Usually indian clothes are so extravagant. But this looks kind of plain. I understand that it is a sport event and maybe they desided to go minimalist. But still looks like indian cosplay dress from alibaba
As an Australian, I can honestly say our uniform is fug.
I don't understand why Sportscraft didn't collaborate with an Aboriginal artist? It would have made the uniforms more interesting at least.
Mongolia and Sri Lanka all the way! Gorgeous uniforms 😀
As a fellow Aussie I totally agree. So cliche and boring 😩
Agreed. There's only so many iterations of green and gold sports wear one can explore before it is just so boring.
After having a bit of a look around the internet, the on-field uniforms designed by ASICS have much more obvious indigenous artwork features (the rugby uniforms for example). I also found that Sportscraft did actually collaborate with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island artists to design the scarfs, pocket squares and handbags (albeit the inside has the print 🙃). There’s also apparently a “restriction” that says the opening ceremony uniform has to include a blazer.
I really do wish indigenous designs were put more at the forefront for our opening ceremony uniform considering that is the event that most non-sports fans will actually watch. The skirts being a perfect example- why a boring ombré when we could’ve had a beautiful, unique artwork piece?
As an Australian. I agree. That skirt without the blazer has managed to make athletes in peak form look fat -a hard feat. Sports craft could of done better. An aboriginal print would of been so nice.
@@emmaking7367 I just watched Mia Gross's video on her unboxing the uniform and unfortunately, it still the boring green and yellow *sigh*
Philippine's opening ceremony outfit is the traditional Barong shirt with embroidered armband representing the flag, it is all over tiktok as well, not as fancy as Mongolia but also traditional and different.
Yeah designed by a filipino designer francis libiran..
Yeah. And he didn’t feature it.
Mongolia and Haiti nailed.❤ Chef kiss.
YES!!❤
Sri Lanka’s uniform is so elegant and beautiful ❤
It would be so wonderful if each nation put out an explanation of the historical and cultural references in their uniforms. They put in the design effort so it'd be helpful to understand it.
Im sure all countries do have an explanation, but in their language in their own broadcasts or on their own social media. I agree though, it'd be great if there was a designated time slot for the commentary to explain the meaning to everyone watching the opening ceremony!
The Czech uniform is such a look. As is Turkey.
Also Austria, Haiti, India, Poland, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland are solid. And Mongolia is just stunning.
Also, Mongolian people are so beautiful.
The Czech trench coat turned out to be perfect for the rain.
I would love if some tv channel or something would do an Olympics Fashion special for every Olympics. Interview the designers, talk about the inspirations and cultural aspects, get great shots of all the outfits for each country. They put so much work into the clothing it would be nice to showcase it!
I would watch that!
Very cool idea, why don't you send it to the Olympic Organization ???
Yes! I love the art of the opening and closing ceremonies. I'd love if we celebrated arts with the Olympics, too!
Agree
Exactly
How I Rank It
🥇 : Mongolia , Haiti , Srilanka
🥈 : Mexico , Kazakhstan , Ireland , Turkey
🥉 : Japan , Thailand , South Korea , Great Britain , USA
4 th Place : Malaysia , Italy , France
Mongolia! Wow! Sri Lanka is lovely too with the embroidery. I like India and Poland as well. But Haiti is just stunning. The art, the fit, the BOOTS! Fabulous.
Haiti is fabulous!
Right! 😍
As a brazilian i can say that EVERYONE hated the outfit from the opening ceremony, we even had a petition to give to some other brand to do another option that really represents our country and not go with the stereotypical jaguar and leaves as always. I guess that's what you get for putting this responsibility on the hands of a fast fashion brand...
Yeah. And we Americans have been complaining about our team uniforms (with women's shorts looking like thongs).
The Ralph Lauren opening ceremony outfits also have been decried. But I think Ralph Lauren has been phoning it in for years as he has a multi-year contract.
The gymnastics leotards were stunning
It was really not it…😢
@@crispixl.1882 The leotards are were designed by Jade Barbosa, the capitain of gymnastics team. She is an amazing athlete and super talented. So glad it was not the same brand!!
Brazil outfits ain't bad but i think Brazil have so much potential i generally like Brazil themed outfits uniforms. It could have been much better here.
Ireland’s opening ceremony jacket includes an embroidered county crest for the athletes to showcase their home county. Laura redesigned traditional county crests with a new symbolism and a refreshed colour palette.
This is what the different patches in the sleeves are. Just FYI 💚
County crests with clan name below? I just presumed they were clan coat of arms.
@@word42069 It's the name of the county
Personally I like the designs for Haiti, Sri Lanka, Poland
Dear Luke, thank you for this analysis! I have a few notes on the Mexican uniform. I was not happy with its overall design but I am happy to see my home country represented in the Olympics. Mexico was the first Latin American city that hosted the summer games. The graphic design for its campaign is quite iconic and timeless, as it followed the Op-Art trend of the late 1960s. It would have been cool had the designer incorporated those elements of optical art into this year’s uniform. I love the addition of the pink though, as pink is considered the local color of CDMX. The city is covered in pink motifs: taxis, buses, the flora, and buildings are often painted in pink. The heart design element I think borrows from the city of Guanajuato. The city is an important site for Mexico’s pre and post colonial history as it is the birth (“la cuna”) of the Mexican independence movement. Guanajuato is often referred to as “el corazón de México”, meaning, “the heart of Mexico”. Guanajuato is also the birthplace of Diego Rivera. Most importantly, the Angel is seen in the back of the uniform. I loved your comparison of the Angel with greek mythology. I have never thought of it that way, but so clever to incorporate this in the Olympic uniform! The Angel though is the iconic “Ángel de la Independencia”, an iconic monument in beautiful Mexico City. The Angel is located in the middle of Avenida Reforma, one of the city’s most important avenues. I just wanted to share this with you! Thank you for always posting top-notch content!❤
I appreciated that Mexico did not dress in the flag colors. USA always seems to cover itself in stars and stripes and it looks tacky.
The pink I think represents Mexico as a whole. It’s rosa mexicano and has a whole history, beginning in fashion, indeed. I would guess that’s why CDMX chose it as its brand color.
I absolutely LOVED Mexico’s outfit. One of my favs for sure. But I also love Mexico as a country.
I absolutely LOVED Mexico’s outfit. One of my favs for sure. But I also love Mexico as a country.
@@LuisCarlosCortes-zz5my Rosa mexicano, of course!
Proud Haitian here! Love 💕 the details on those uniforms. It truly gives a glimpse of us with the artwork.
A proud Haitian here! Tres fiere de Stella Jean et Philippe Dodard. 💋🇭🇹♥️🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
The Brits closing ceremony fits says, "Welcome to Margaritaville. Can I take your order?"
UK is 4 countries and it's showing the 4 national plants... also we like to drink so it's fitting. Just waiting for the sun!
Rose represents England
Thistle represents Scotland
Dafodil represents Wales
Shamrock represents Northern Ireland
As discusssed with Brit friends: I had one question: does it come with a tattoo? Because we all agreed that it should. Look, UK, you had Alexamder McQueen. We know you can do better.
@@mcozy3466 I just laughed when I saw their outfits.. I wish they'd made an effort and gone more old school traditional. They have the history of four countries to draw inspiration from. I wish they'd done multiple looks. As a Scot I'd at least liked to have seen a Kilt.
😊😅😅😊😊😊
Team France: bon jour, would you like a biscoff? It’s soooo giving that.
Another Brazilian here 🙋🏻♀️ Truly, it’s only the ceremonial outfit that is the problem, all the other uniforms for each sport were pretty nice and cool. Worst part is knowing that whoever designed the opening outfit, and whoever approved of them, really don’t care nor understand the importance of a good personal image in such an event! People from the Brazilian Olympic Committee have literally said “it’s not a fashion show” 🙄 Like that justifies wearing whatever to a ceremony that will be viewed globally. The cherry on top was the chief of marketing for Riachuelo saying they were inspired by Dior’s New Look. Bitch, where?!?!?! Ugh, total lack of care for our athletes that already have a hard time getting support and sponsors (outside of football, ofc)…
I'm so relieved he left flip flops out of it
In the end they did wear the flip flops
Tudo isso e de havaianas na chuva
Well said!
@sagatyba personally if anyone had said a thing about the flip flops I would've fiercely defended since, it's THE thing we all wear and having an outfit that makes the flip flops look good is an interesting take for potential fashion moments
Most South Africans aren't loving the looks our athletes walked out in.
Green and gold is a big colour combo in South Africa. The Gazelle you mentioned, is a Springbok, which is the name most people associate with our rugby team.
South Africa is culturally rich and I think that there is way way more that could have been done to represent the different cultures in their outfits.
Mongolia were the best, followed by Haiti and Sri Lanka.
8:33 is Team *Taiwan*.
Chinese Taipei has been a completely made up "region name" which doesn't even exist in the world. Something being forced under immense Chinese political oppress. Taiwanese athletes therefore are not allowed to raise our national flag nor to have country name printed on uniform. It's something we has been endeavouring to seek for more international recognition and to justify.
Nonetheless, been your follower since ages, enjoy this informative critique content as always and happy to see Taiwanese uniform being mentioned!
Thank you for explaining this! I was wondering what on earth is ‘Chinese Taipei’ 😟
@@presidenthobi1085yeah thanks for noticing! It’s really important to let the world know the true information 🙌🏻
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽謝謝
It confused me a lot! I said it's Taiwan not Chinese Taipei. I know there is an intense tension with China (it's always been). Hope it can resolve without war. I hope you all are safe after the typhoon.
Thank you for explaining this!
I feel very proud and happy as a Sri Lankan. Many people from foreign countries have chosen Sri Lanka's uniform, along with Mongolia and Haiti.
Sri Lanka’s uniform : 🇱🇰
The white garments use silk, handmade embroidery, and beadwork to represent the looks of the royal courts of the 19th century 😊❤️🔥
Polish people aren’t really interested in cricket so the sweater was probably purely an aesthetic choice. But! The florals are composed of wheat and polish meadow flowers ❤
Poland was top 5. Really nice.👋🏾🇺🇸
i was pleasantly surprised as a Pole myself - they look quite chic
I was WAITING for him to talk about the 🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 opening ceremony look!!! Cant believe he doesn't have it, its everywhere???
True.
Ikr 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe it’s not featured well in American internet? Idk
As Thai. I wanna add about team Thailand. This design got so much backlash from Thai people because it's so outdated in so many Thai people's eyes and it's really similar to old fashioned clothes often wearing by old yet not so beloved politicians/governors. The backlash was so bad and to my eyes justifiable that they have changed the design completely.
Wr don't hate the materials, and using silk is good idea but as you mentioned the cut is pretty strange and over all design is just outdated
I don't really know anything, but to me it also felt really old-fashioned. It felt like they didn't go for "blending traditions and modern fashion" but just for "tradition"...full stop.
I actually prefer the old design , especially the Team Jersey that having a pattern resemble the Sea Wave , That Sea Wave detail actually very cool
It just seems quite long...
37:25 Sri lankan outfit was hand embroidered with thousands of tiny beads per one outfit. And as a sri lankan i can say it's a great representation of traditional upper class wear from 17th-18th century. ❤ Thank you for acknowledging the fine hardwork our local craftsmen put into the fit..
Orange is the National color of The Netherlands. It's because the last name of our royal family is van Oranje (of Orange). People don't actually wear it that much outside of sports events and kingsday.
The orange parts are tulips as well, he missed that detail
Mongolia should be the standard when it comes to Olympic fashion
Agree. Mongolia's outfit for 2024 is a new level of Olympic dressing departing from the current global commercialized approach with an effect of visual splash to a more culturally assertive approach with enhanced stress on uniqueness and recognizability. Respect to Haiti too!!
i’m not even Mongolian i’m Italian-American yet i so wanna wear Team Mongolia’s attire😭
it’s so artistic my my god
The flowers on the second British look are our national flowers, English Rose, Scottish Thistle, Welsh daffodil and North Irish shamrock.
I agree more generally though I really wish we incorporated more British tailoring elements or something because right now they’re so boring.
Knowing that, if it had been a proper tailored full sleeve shirt instead of a short sleeve casual shirt it would have looked amazing!
I think that print would have read more British with a white background rather than dark blue (would feel like a traditional floral print rather than a Hawaiian shirt)
But still not good, the opening look just reads as a bland nothing…and kind of fast fashion in style.
I like the idea of having all the flowers, but not the execution. Maybe try the national animals next. The Olympics need more unicorns and dragons. 😉
No, No, not Hawaiian shirt, Bahamian shirt....
both sets of clothes are very h and m
Mongolia and Poland dresses are my favorites. ❤
I'm Brazilian and I wanted to cry when o first saw the uniform.
You can say it, sweetie.
It's hideous.
And for those who may wonder, that's the best picture of it 🤡
Yeah, I'm Brazilian too, and it looks heinous, it looks so cheap, it's embarrassing!
Let me cry with you, I am French and our uniform is...well, you've seen it 😭
Gente, vocês viram o croqui da farm?? Aff, poderia ter sido incrível
@@MarianaFranco1 viiiii
E nem é nada mirabolante, prova que não precisava de muito pra fazer um look incrível.
Só bom gosto mesmo hahahaha
Parece que lembraram de última hora que precisavam de uma muda de roupa e pegaram as roupas de cima.
Sri Lanka served, and not just their splendid tea.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the US podium look is giving NASCAR. It's very Ricky Bobby
There's a private boys school here in Sydney, AU who wants its uniform blazers back; could NOT believe the US would allow their uniform maker to steal such a basic concept, red white and blue blazer! And why use Lauren for such a design challenge?
Haiti, WOW - The Guayabera (4-pocket shirt) is also found in other Caribbean places like Cuba. I really like how the vibrant colors of Haiti are expressed in the skirt and plants. These colors are pervasive throughout the country, from street art to tap-tap (a form of taxi). Philippe Dodard and Sella Jean nailied it.
So baffled why the UK is having a Hawaiian shirt moment, but I can explain the flower print - it’s each country’s national flower:
Rose - England
Daffodil - Wales
Thistle - Scotland
Clover/Shamrock - Northern Ireland
What you have shown about the Philippines’ outfit, is just for their daily use during the event. They wore an official outfit during the opening ceremony which can be easily searched online.
Haiti, I would wear that uniform in a heartbeat. Gold!❤🥇🇭🇹
I want the shoess!!!
Love it so much! I can't stop talking about it❤
Sri Lanka and Mongolia brought it! I love uniforms that reference the culture and not just the flag colors.
I'm getting Project Runway challenge flashbacks with some of these looks. Haiti (Stella Jean), Mongolia (Michel & Amazonka), Poland, China and Sri Lanka had the best opening ceremony looks (shared in this video). Great balance of cultural heritage, style and designer signature.
I love the fact u mentioned Poland ❤️
Turkey
Sri Lanka’s uniforms:-
The white garments use silk, handmade embroidery, and beadwork to represent the looks of the royal courts of the 19th century. 😊❤️🔥
the chinese mens uniforms weren't tailored/too large which made them look bad. given their background with garment production and textiles you'd think they could hem some trousers or provide the right sized jackets
Colombia's opening ceremony look was a trench coat in the "traditional" trench coat color with that same motif at the bottom. The motif is inspired by "cañaflecha", a textile from here, and with the colors of our flag of course. The uniforms/looks were made by Totto, a colombian backpacks/suitcase company (and athletic gear like fanny packs, hats, wallets, etc) that has also some sportswear things (mostly jackets and windbreakers and tshirts). It's pretty much the only company that sponsors our athletes here and the backpacks are QUALITY! My father has been using the same backpack as a traveling one for 20 years, it's in perfect shape.
37:16 I don't think that Spain can get too creative with looks inspired in traditional clothing because every region has their own and it might create some controversy since regionalism is a real thing there. Flamenco clothing is from Andalucia, which is different from the Basque Region, Madrid, or Valencia, for example.
Yeah, people would definitely get mad if the design leaned towards one particular region.
I'd be cool if they found common elements from all autonomous communities for the design, but I guess it'd be too complicated.
You were very kind to Australia. Here in Aus we are cringing and sighing lol. Loved the video ❤
Australian here; 100% agree with the Mongolian Gold. Its fabulous.
Top 3 for me (1)Mongolia (2) Sri Lanka (3) Haiti
Outstanding ! I admire the creatives, designers, manufacturers, and specifically the people who get the least credit for these visual masterpieces.
As a Sri Lankan this makes me so so proud - our sportsmanship and craftsmanship finally goes out to the world 🥹🥹🇱🇰❤️
Mongolia was my favourite from the start. My daughter bought the Canadian LuLuLemon shorts you pictured. In the floral pattern there is also a moose, a wolf, and an orca. They are very nice and the quality is good. The white and red uniform is being called "bacon" by its detractors.
I just love your fashion critique. Not only do you make me smile and laugh, I enjoy your choice of words to describe various fashion trends. You have such passion for what you do and above all ,your knowledge of fashion history is impressive. I always look forward to your content. Greetings from South Africa.
As a Sri Lankan really happy And proud with our design.
Nigerian print is Batik… made with blocks of geometric shapes hand dyed and very traditional
I like that you didn't do a worst pick. Very cool of you and nailed what the Olympics is about. :)
omg im from Mongolia and he is talking about our traditional design 😮😊
Mongolia's Olympic outfit is *chef's kiss* I think everyone can't help but talk about it - it's gorgeous!
The Mongolian outfits are absolutely stunning!! ❤
how can he not, they slayed so hard with that
Also neat that the way the jackets close at the front shoulder reminds me very much of fencing gear.
Gold medal
You did it again: a beautiful interesting video about the Olympic uniforms. I tried to find contributions by others but yours is the more extensive one. Well done 👏👏👏.
As a Haitian-American I could cry of happiness looking at Haiti's outfit it's just so gorgeous ❤🔥
Haiti was my favorite. 🔥
Me too
Same 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
I hadn’t seen Sri-Lanka’s uniform before and I was surprised by how beautiful it looks! Definitely a podium look alongside Mongolia and Haiti.
I've never been this early 😃
Edit after watching the video: I loved that you did this and definitely Mongolia is the best. I also loved Sri Lanka, Haiti, China and Poland. Super disappointed by team France
@keops02 Exactly! Except I'll save my "super disappointment" for the USA. **Yawn** Why oh why does every Olympic Ralph Lauren dollection look **exactly** the same as all the others?! And with over-sized logo to boot! Yuck!
Stop with the lazy and show some effort & orginality.
Sri Lanka:-The white garments use silk, handmade embroidery, and beadwork to represent the looks of the royal courts of the 19th century.
Prematurely saying sorry for the Brazil uniform. We're very upset by it, it is serving church sisters joining a cult in a very bad way lol
lmfaooooooooo
who were the mormons that designed our ceremony outfits, I want names. Now.
😂😂😂😂
Omg same with the Guatemalan uniform. That’s how conservative ladies dress when they go to lunch on Sundays, it was just missing the MK bag lol
@@KarlaIvethXD MK bag 😭🤣😂
Team Sri Lanka has chosen the Kandyan Era fashion. This was the way the Royal family used to wear before Europeans came to Sri Lanka (Ceylone). Its a now famouse brand in Sri Lanka named "Lovi Ceylon" the Brand Ambassador is non other than Sri Lankan singer Yohani. She wears Lovi Ceylon fashion on all her Concerts.
I noticed Mongolian's outfits in the opening ceremony. It looks beautiful. Don't know why but it looks like an armor to me. So badass & chic
Someone pointed out in the comments that a lot of the looks didn't look like they were designed for athletes, but these definitely do!
@@gr33ngirlsea definitely!
I think so too...
You know what, totally get the whole Mexico thing (I’m Mexican American) and I know some people weren’t happy about it and it’s not to everyone’s taste. I personally LOVED IT because of the symbolism. So the pink used is referred as “Rosa Mexicana” or Mexican Pink (this shade of pink is very close to us) The little hearts and detailed illustrations on the sleeves are suppose to represent “milagritos” or little miracles. They are silver charms that we carry that are similar, in way, to good luck charms. As for the Angel in the back, that is to represent the big golden statue in Mexico City: El Angel de la Victoria, or The Angel of Victory translated in English. Men’sFashion wanted to make a sleek but street fashion statement for the Mexican team, away from the topical tricolor. I think it’s a pretty unique style for the team, again, away from the typical green white and red. Totally respect your opinion! I just wanted to share the symbolism! 👍🏽
As an Irish person I do not generally go out of my way to defend the UK buuuut, those are the plant/flowers that represent each of the nations that make it up. Rose - England, Daffodil - Wales, Thistle - Scotland, and Shamrock - Northern Ireland. The set dressing is heinous though because they clearly didn't commission anyone to make the florals specifically so the scale on the different flowers is I went to the craft store and this is what they had...
The Mexico fit had Niké, Greek Goddess of Victory in the back, there is a monument with a sculpture of her in Mexico City and represents victory and liberty.
About the Mexican uniforms .. the imagery on the sleeves are called milagros. The accent color is officially known as Rosa Mexicano and I believe the image on back of the jacket represents the Angel of Independence .. one of the most famous monuments in Mexico City.
thank you so much for explaining, it makes a big difference to appreciating what we are seeing.
It's embarassing that they chose to stay away from the rich history of textiles, embroidery and artisanal craft that Mexico has to offer. Instead, they chose an angel(which is more representative of European art and religion). They were not gala worthy and definitely not representative of the country.
I thought it was The Lady of Guadalupe
@@fairycloudz315 Mexico is nearly 80% Catholic.
Yep, to all those points. 🇲🇽
I am an Indian, and I absolutely HATE the Indian look. They could have done SOO much better. Could have included some designs like the peacock or embroidery, something that represents the diversity of this country instead of just adding national flag's colours to the border. The worst part is that even if the designers wanted to use the current design, they could have used intricate hand sewing for the borders like it is done by traditional artisans but instead they chose to print it.
Hi i'm from México and the design in the back is because of a monument we have in Mexico City that's called "Ángel de la Independencia"
I love your comments! Spot on! So right about British looks! Yikes! and Mongolia - wow! quadruple GOLD to them!
When I saw Team Mongolia's uniform trending on social media I thought of you! I was like 'HauteLeMode is definitely going to do a video on this uniform'
Please do a series where you react to fashion designers from different countries! I felt so happy to see you react to Poland I would love to see you review polish designers and I’m sure people from other countries would enjoy it to. Would be a great series & I love your channel.
Mongolia understood the assignment and ate🥇
I Love your commentary/analysis in All your video presentations!!! I might not always agree, but enlightening and entertaining!✔️✔️✔️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🇺🇸
I'm Brazilian and I came here just to see you talking about our uniform. In Brazil the opening uniform it's been massively criticized. It's ugly, looks cheap, there's no one good thing about it. We say it looks like a going to the church clothes, cause the born again Christians and evangelicals here use when they go to church, which is ok, but not for the opening ceremony at the Olympics! The yellow and blue are kinda incapable, they are our flag colours, and we think it's beautiful, perhaps cause we grow up with it, i must confess i love the colour of our flag and the way they go together, but it's not for everyone!
Que vergonha o do Brasil ficou feio comparado com os outros 😭😭😭kkkkkk
Mongolia, Poland, and Sri Lanka r my favs. Haiti is bold and colourful
Wow, I never thought I would see you talk about mongolian designers, makes me very happy and proud to be from Mongolia ❤Thank you sm M&A!!
For people who liked Mongolian olympic uniform, i would recommend the last olympics uniform too. Because it was made by the same designer, and was very good too.
Everyone on the gymnastics subreddit thinks the Team France uniforms, the red, white, blue ombre reads very aquafresh ad, and I can't unsee it now.
Ahahaha I should not have read this!
LMAO little aquafresh bird
Your coverage of the Olympics clothing style would inspire me as a young person to learn to sew and not be afraid to create my own style of skirts blazers and shorts, even designing my own carry bag, thank you.
you made me spit my tea on the computer with the British accent! Joker! it is very good it is just that it took me by surprise, loved the whole show.
