"Ralph Lipschitz has been making schitz in China that for decades but silly American consumers have bought into the ridiculous brand/image of this garbage paying through the nose for stuff that could be bought elsewhere for half the price without the pony..."

It got me thinking...
For something that should be a symbolism of the country, pride and patriotic, I think that the Olympic uniforms should be made in their own country.
As an iconic American designer, Ralph Lauren should want see it as a representation of the country he bases his fashion label on, and where he is based when designing. Instead, he sees it as a money making situation. Get cheap labour and make more profit.
And then there's uproar about why Stella McCartney has taken the red out of the GB Olympic teams outfits. I don't quite understand why she has keep it to trims and trainers. I'm not particularly keen on the overall look, but they look smart, representable and won't take attention away from the actual sporting activities. Plus, they're meant to be practical not necessarily fashionable!

I personally enjoy watching the olympics, I would have loved to have gone to see any of the events, they were just way overpriced for a student aha! I will be keeping up-to-date with it though through the internet and watching the bits that I can. One downside is that I'll still be commuting into and out of London 3 days a week to do my internship which is not going to be fun, considering the Mayor of London keeps stating on loudspeaker at Euston station that we are expecting over 1 million visitors over these next few weeks. Oh the joys! I actually tapped into Google Maps to see how long it would take me to walk from Euston to Peaks and it's about a half and hour walk, not too bad really, so may consider that! Hopefully it'll be dry.
