Louboutin First Set Foot In Costume Design

In less than two weeks, the summer games in 2016 will begin.

Last week, the Cuban national team dress was announced in Portuguese capital Lisbon, the designer is the French shoe designer Chris Louboutin and founder of online sports brand SportyHenri.com, former French handball player Henri Tai.

It is worth noting that this is the first time Louboutin has set foot in costume design.

Generally speaking, the Olympic team is mostly from local brands.

But because Cuba has long been isolated from the mainstream fashion industry, it has not yet been able to produce enough well-known brands to choose from.

From the point of view of international influence and attention, Louboutin, which is famous for its red shoes, may indeed be a better choice.

The new uniform is mainly red, and will be unveiled as the Cuban team's formal dress at the opening and closing ceremonies.

The whole series includes red and beige jackets made for sportsmen and sportsmen, as well as black trousers, shorts and short skirts that match the occasion.

The Cuban flag is painted on the pocket of the outer chest, and the five pointed star in the flag meaning "Cuba is an independent nation" is embroidered on the back.

In order to pay tribute to Cuba's handicraft tradition, athletes were invited to a studio in Paris to customize their clothing according to their shape.

For shoes, male athletes wear calf skin.

and

Female athletes are sandals, and they also have prominent independent pentagram.

Of course, their main colors are also classic Louboutin red.

In an interview, Louboutin said, "I think the moment when putting on sports equipment, athletes seem to become anti gravity Superman instantly, so when designing ceremonies, they should return to the" human "moment, although they have glory, but also return to the real world.

Louboutin is not the first fashion person to come into contact with Cuba in the near future.

Since the resumption of diplomatic relations with the United States last year, it has become increasingly popular among fashion circles.

Last fall, Rihanna made the cover for Cuba's vanity fair 11 issue.

In May of this year, Chanel set up another 2017 early spring holiday show.

WMagazine and other magazines also choose to shoot hard shots here.

An interesting fact is that Cuba was one of the first countries to participate in the Olympic Games. It first appeared on the 1900.

Since then, Cuba has won 208 medals at the Summer Olympics, but has never participated in the Winter Olympics.

Cuba has won fifth of the medal numbers in the countries that have not hosted the Olympic Games, second only to Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria.

Although it is still in the countdown stage, the Olympic Games have obviously become the showcase of designers and fashion brands.

The United States team has been jointly designed by Ralph Lauren and Nike. The United Kingdom is Stella McCartney, Canada is DSquared2, France is Lacoste, and Italy is still Giorgio Armani.

Nike and designer Ye Chaoying are responsible for the Chinese team's uniform and dress design.

As you may have heard, they continue the tradition of "tomato scrambled eggs".
