Famed Americana designer, Ralph Lauren, is set to design the wardrobe for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. In years past, the role of outfitting the greatest of American athletes has fallen upon Roots, a company based out of Toronto. Apparently this year, the US Olympic Committee is looking to embrace the quintessential American look by calling on its golden boy.
In addition to the wardrobe for the opening/closing ceremonies, Lauren has been commissioned to create what they are coining as "Village Wear," for athletes to wear during their down time in, you guessed it, The Olympic Village!
What's next, little surgical/pollution masks emblazoned with the RL logo for the athletes to wear?
I'm wondering....will Ralph bring home the gold?
