Style: Carrying The Torch In Style
The hottest gear of the 2002 Winter Olympics was the beret that U.S. athletes wore at the opening ceremonies. Fans bought more than 1 million replicas of the little blue hat made by Roots, an official outfitter of the team. Consumers looking to commemorate the Summer Games in Athens will have a few more options. In May the shoe company Camper introduced a limited-edition collection of sandals with photographs of athletes from past Games on the insoles. Hogan's Olympia collection of leather sneakers is dedicated to the 2004 Olympics, while track-and-field champion Jesse Owens was the inspiration for Tod's Owens line of shoes and bags. Celine is honoring the Games with a small collection of sportswear, including belts with good-luck charms and hooded jackets adorned with laurel wreaths. Sigerson Morrison's gladiator boots, left, aren't ideal for a relay, but they're a chic nod to ancient Greece. And for those who missed out in '02, Roots' beret is back.
