Whilst we all at TEAM D.W.S will be patriotically routing for all the British Sportsmen and women to do well in the OLYMPIC GAMES , we must confess when it comes to matters sartorial (which we do know a more than a little about) we are so not keen on our Team Uniform that STELLA McCARTNEY designed.
It's made us reflect slightly on some of the OLYMPIC's finest fashion moments in the past, and some of the real losers. Here's a few of our favorites:-
 |
| Miss Charlotte Cooper the first ever Women Medalist in 1900 nattily attired like a real well-bred Englishwoman. |
And we couldn't miss out the Norwegian Team in 2010 who had us riveted to Curling that year, and those pants of theirs made by a company called LOUDMOUTH GOLF. The Team's pants have their own Facebook page that has been 'liked' by almost 600,000 people! http://www.facebook.com/NOCTP.
We loved these matching bathing suits the AUSTRALIAN TEAM wore in 1972. Evidently hers is called a 'tankini' and his were called 'far too short'.
In 1988 West German figure skater KATERINA WITT horrified Olympic Officials by baring so much skin and they introduced new rules to ensure that in future costumes were more modest and 'ladylike' . They named it the Katerina Rule and it was enforced until 2004. Personally we were much more 'offended' by what she wore, not now little there was of it!
So for 2012 here's one Team's Uniform we applaud. If you recognize the designer standing in front, then you will know that this is the Italian Team . (Yep, its Signor Armani).
And here's one we dislike even more than Ms McCartney's. Is the 2012 outfits for the Spanish Team and you can see from this photograph how very excited they are to be wearing them.
And finally, we know that the Mayor was not elected for his keen sense of fashion BUT wearing one of the dreadful puce outfits of the Olympic Ambassadors? Really Boris! It makes us really worry what he will actually wear to the Games itself.
