[Gasps.] The Haitian Winter Olympic team’s uniforms are beautiful!

And the IOC is still worse than worthless. They made them remove images of Toussaint Louverture.

I can’t do this justice. Here is the description from the article: “ Both athletes, Viano and Stevenson, were pictured at the Haitian Embassy in Rome wearing jackets with a riderless red horse encompassed by the tropical nature of Haiti and its clear blue sky, with the Haitian Coat of Arms on the chest. For the women in the delegation, a puffer skirt with the same red horse is included, with a zip-up jacket and a tignon or headwrap in a green tropical print. This image serves as a reminder that the erasure of Haiti is impossible, and the essence of resilience and overcoming, rooted in the country, will always be visible.”

Haiti’s Winter Olympic Uniforms Are Breaking The Internet | Essence

Although the International Olympic Committee flagged an issue with the political nature of the uniform, Stella Jean’s designs are stunning.
