It's no surprise that fashion plays an important role during the Olympic Games. Different sportswear and the opening ceremony dresses to some extent reflect the various characteristics of each country.
We can find a variety of culture and customs through each outfit. The inspiration for many designs comes from national flags, especially their colors.
Italy
Italy deserves its reputation for being a fashion hot spot. I have always appreciated Dolce & Gabbana's designs. Its simple yet stylish look impresses many.
