But let&#8217;s be real for a second here, the outfits were competing just as hard as the downhill skiers and the figure skaters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a simple strategy at play: if you can\u2019t snag gold at least stun in press photos. After all, this is Italy, the birthplace of Armani, Gucci and other world-renowned fashion houses. At the XXV Winter Olympic Games (that\u2019s their official name), athleticism may lead the way but style isn\u2019t far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed and power get the enthusiastic cheers, but the outfits get the double takes. You simply cannot show up looking all drab and dreary while repping your country on the global stage. Indeed, a country\u2019s heritage can absolutely be expressed through what it wears, the point at which national pride meets sartorial creativity. Koktail spotlights looks that aren\u2019t just pretty and photogenic, but also rooted in cultural identity and tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-8-italy-armani\"><strong>1\/8 Italy: Armani<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels only fitting to begin with the host. At the opening ceremony, Armani paid tribute to Italy by drawing on its national <em>t<\/em><em>ricolore<\/em>: green, white and red. Models dressed in Armani suits filed out in carefully arranged rows, creating a pointillist display that, when viewed from above, formed the image of the Italian flag.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/11-822x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/11-822x1024.jpg 822w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/11-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/11-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/11.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of olympics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supermodel Vittoria Ceretti gracefully carried the physical flag while parting the sea of striking colours. While a tribute to Italy, the display was also in honour of the late fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who passed away last year.
