"Fashion is many things. It is practical, it is communicative, it is
commercial, and it is competitive.
Looking towards the fashion of Paris 2024, some countries have multiple
uniforms for the opening and closing ceremonies, podiums, media and sporting
events. Some countries tell subtle or extravagant stories of their nations. The
Parisian style of the host city inspires some.
Some countries want to use the latest technology to produce sustainable fabrics
or recycled materials. Some countries have used designers and brands to fashion
their formal uniforms.
Their commonality is they represent their country and communicate their
national presence and essence.
My top five opening and closing ceremony uniforms have been considered. The
countries with notable fashion brands are not favoured; my selections are based
on the design’s story, meaning and overall aesthetic. These top five evoke a
creative expression of national pride that resonates with my lens and
preference of fashion and style."
