SAEDNEWS: Team Mongolia waves from a boat in the floating parade on the river Seine during the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony on July 26, 2024.
According to SAEDNEWS, The internet has chosen its new favorite national uniform at the forthcoming Paris 2024 Olympics: Mongolia’s. Featuring intricately embroidered vests, pleated robes and accessories inspired by traditional attire, the country’s opening and closing ceremony outfits have taken social media by storm since being unveiled earlier this month.
The designs are the work of Michel&Amazonka, an Ulaanbaatar-based label producing couture and ready-to-wear garments that “express the essence of Mongolian tradition and culture” in what the brand calls a “contemporary light.”
The outfits took an average of 20 hours each to craft, according to the Mongolian National Olympic Committee.
