in it to win it

The Olympics begin tomorrow so what better time to write a Fashion blog post! I know that I love to bitch about sports, and how I am basically indifferent to all things athletic.
Well I love me some Olympics!
They come around just often enough for me to get excited.

By now everyone has heard about the scandal of the US team uniforms, designed by Ralph Lauren, being manufactured in China. I think that the bigger scandal is that the uniforms make the athletes look like Parisian flight attendants.
There are other great American designers out there. Oh, who you ask? Well I've just so happened to have rounded up some of my top picks for who could have designed uniforms that wouldn't have our athletes confused with Madeline. 

Alexander Wang. 

Alexander Wang is the Sporty Spice of Fashion. His collections have an inherent athleticism, as if they aren't meant just to look pretty but to be filled with movement and energy. They give of the impression that the body underneath the clothes has to be in peak physical condition, and that the wearer is not someone to be crossed.

Marc Jacobs. 

Or more specifically Marc by Marc Jacobs. What the most intimidating way to look cool and laid back? MarcXMarc can give you all of that and more. Americans already think that they are the fly-est competitors in the world. Why not give them the clothes to match?

   

Prabal Gurung.

Not the most obvious choice but I would love to see some kaleidoscopic red, white, and blue prints make their way through the Parade of Nations. 

   

Jason Wu. 

This guy has a bit of experience when it comes to dressing important Americans.

   

Zac Posen.
OK hear me out. I don't suggest that the Olympics are a place to pull out all the stops, glamor wise. But no one understands how to make tailoring more interesting and beautiful than Zac Posen. I'm not quite sure how he would do with mens wear but I would put my faith in him.

 

Note how I did not include the Michael Kors. I'm always keeping you guessing.
