As we all know the 2010 Winter Olympics have begun. Friday, February 12, they were kicked off with an amazing opening ceremony, where once again, our country was "United" with the appearance of 216 athletes competing and representing the U.S.A.. Entering the stadium in their navy blue and American red marshmallow jackets, with a wonderful, chic cream, cable knit turtleneck sweater, and coordinating khaki trousers, the American athletes, held their heads high as they waved, smiled, and represented our country. I think its only fitting that the individual chosen to design these outfits was, none other than, Ralph Lauren. Born in the Bronx, New York on October 14, 1939, Ralph Lauren has become one of the few designers to stay true to an American style, and has gone on to produce collections that have become classics to this day.
I am truly passionate about the olympics, because I feel that it is one way to bring together our world, in such a time as this. With the unfortunate earthquake in Haiti, the tragedy of a fashion Icon; Alexander McQueen, and the horrendous death of the Georgian Luger; Nodar Kumaritashvili, our world has been given hope and the inspiration to continue believing in a brighter tomorrow. So thank you to all the American athletes for representing our country & to Mr. Lauren for staying true to the American Tradition with your creations. Then without further ado...LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!
For now...
take care, love Blair
