MAISON 75 for the Olympiades à Paris 2024 !
We are extremely excited to show you the designs for Panama's Olympic Team uniforms! Crafted with a deep reverence for our nation's rich heritage and the dedication of our talented athletes, this year's Olympics will be filled with athletic performance and fashion too.
Designing for the Panamanian Olympic delegation is a profound honor and privilege for us. It embodies values of excellence, friendship, and respect—core principles of the Olympic Movement that unite sport, culture, and education for the benefit of humanity. Each garment has been created not only to represent our Panamanian heritage but also to serve as a symbol of unity and pride for our athletes on the global stage.
For the Panamanian Olympic uniforms, the main inspiration stemmed from our nation's biggest pride—the Panama Canal. Each element of the uniform symbolizes la culture Panaméene.
Navy Blue: Honor to our prestigious geographic position, surrounded by two oceans, symbolizing elegance and professionalism.
White: Signifies integrity, peace, and union, reflecting Panama's isthmus and the Olympics' role in global harmony.
Golden Details: Pays homage to gold and the importance of gold in Panamanian indigenous culture, honoring the jewels of our national attire, the pollera.
For me, as a designer, comfort is Indispensable. Considering the Parisian summer heat, I carefully selected breathable fabrics with fluidity that ensure comfort and security for our delegation. The uniform has three essential elements:
Blazer: Adorned with the COP crest and golden buttons, featuring straight and classic lines.
Chemise: Sailor-inspired, crafted in cotton gauze for a timeless and elegant look.
Bermuda Shorts: High-waisted with a graceful drape, offering both style and ease of movement.
