The challenge for last night's runway was a great one, an Olympic opening night outfit. What a great idea! It's so patriotic. But the contestants on the show soon pop my excitement bubble. Let me interject that there were some great outfits for the challenge. A few of the designers 'got' the challenge. Let me share with you the outfits that don't really make you think of anything related to the Olympics...except for maybe a dignitary's wife in the bleaches.
Why would you as a designer think any of those outfits would be appropriate for the opening night walk into the stadium? Have these designers never watched one?

its good to know about it? where did you get that information?
From top to bottom we have:
• 40s dinner party chic (and totally inappropriate for the opening ceremony, but maybe a dinner party afterward)
• 50s housewife out for a luncheon. “Where are my gloves, dear?” (Think about Venus Williams wearing this.)
• Lucy and Ethel go to the Olympics, but serve as flight attendants and Little Bo Peep impersonators on the way there. 'Nuf said.
• 70s college girl casual. Have these designers seen female athletes' thighs?
• 60s inspired pencil skirt dress, good for a day at boarding school and the Olympics. Or not.
