A tribute to the white, red and green flag in front of the eyes of the whole world: the Italia Team will parade tomorrow at the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics with a tricolor cape on the classic podium uniform. This is the tribute of Giorgio Armani, who for each athlete involved in the parade at the national stadium in Beijing has created a particular garment in shiny technical fabric, white in the central part, red and green on the sides.
"It is a tribute to our flag and the high values it represents, and which our athletes embody," said Giorgio Armani.
The uniform includes a royal blue technical jacket with hood and central closure, made of Toray Dermizax stretch fabric, waterproof and breathable. The tricolor details and the writing "Italy" on the back stand out, made with a gold outline and an iridescent tricolor.
Inside, on the side of the heart, there is the text of the Hymn by Mameli, in gold print. The jacket is paired with the trousers in the same high-performance technical fabric, and the look is completed with waterproof shoes with thermal padding and an ice-friendly sole.
The blues, in their Beijing wardrobe, will also have an alternative jacket, white with the “Italy” print in a watercolor effect, in red and green.
"Working with Italian athletes is always a pleasure and a source of great pride for me - added Armani - I think that in complex moments like the one we are experiencing, sport can be of help and example, because it combines individual commitment with spirit. of group and team. Only by working together can you get real results ".
