What does Mongolian Olympic uniform depict?
Mongolia’s uniform is a tribute to Mongolian culture, inspired by the traditional Mongolian deel, a calf-length tunic. The ivory ensemble features cuffed, billowing sleeves, a pleated skirt, and an embroidered vest, offset by pops of color in the collar, cuffs, and vest. It also includes a mythical deer from traditional folklore. According to Michel & Amazonka, the fashion designers, each individual uniform took dozens of hours to make, which isn’t surprising given the intricate level of detail.
