This summer the Olympics arrive in Paris, taking place in the city for the first time since 1924. With the spotlight on the French Olympic and Paralympic teams, Berluti has revealed its custom outfits designed for the home country’s 1,500 athletes and coaches.

Designed with the team’s specific needs in mind, the resulting tuxedos embrace the house’s savoir-faire through a spirit of excellence and elegance. Rendered in midnight blue wool, the jacket features a shawl collar crafted with a motif inspired by a ‘French flag’ patina created specifically for the occasion in France’s national colours. On foot, male athletes wear a pair of Berluti Shadow trainers, while female athletes sport either the Shadow or the Lorenzo leather loafer. Team France will wear the Berluti suits during the opening ceremony, taking place on Friday 26th July.
