NY Post
In the capital of fashion, Olympians are competing for best dressed.
The kitted athletes are serving up their best looks as they go for gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, sporting uniforms meticulously crafted to reflect the home country of each team.
While captivated audiences tune in for the athletic mastery, the enviable fashion is worth staying for, from the stylish, star-studded opening ceremony featuring Olympians in designer wear, to the apparel worn during competition — some of which has already placed first in viewers’ hearts.
Mongolia’s opulent uniforms — decorated in ornate gold detailing — enthralled the internet, with viewers at home championing the design as “high fashion,” “fire” and “the best” in the competition.
Designed by Michel & Amazonka — who have previously designed attire for Mongolian Airlines and Team Mongolia at past Olympics — the kits are inspired by the Mongolian Naadam Festival, with the event’s “Nine White Banner” depicted on the top of the vest, followed by the Olympic rings.
At the bottom of the embroidered vest is Mount Everest, which mountaineers climb and “become the best,” director Batbaatar Munkhbaya told GQ. The gold thread, Munkhbaya continued, symbolizes the desire to bring home gold medals.
