Mongolia’s Next Level Olympic Outfits Show Refinement and Heritage

The opening ceremony of the Olympics always showcase athletes from around the world in their country’s ceremony outfits.  This year, a preview of Mongolia’s outfits have taken social media by storm, as they elevate ceremonial outfits to works of art.

Compared to the USA’s Ralph Lauren-designed prep, Mongolia opts for a classy, refined look, showcasing their country’s heritage and craftsmanship.

The vests and pleated robes have a level of refinement that feature intricate embroidery, designed by Ulaanbaatar-based label Michel&Amazonka.

Whether or not the Mongolian olympians medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, they’re already winners to many.

Featuring intricately embroidered vests, pleated robes and accessories inspired by traditional attire, the country’s opening and closing ceremony outfits have taken social media by storm since being unveiled last week.

The designs are the work of Michel&Amazonka, an Ulaanbaatar-based label producing couture and ready-to-wear garments that “express the essence of Mongolian tradition and culture” in what the brand calls a “contemporary light.”
