From the production

Recycled fabric was used to make the clothes and the details on the embroidered denim jackets were handmade. The clothes were designed and developed by Riachuelo, the committee's official fashion brand. The clothing sets were designed with the aim of portraying the diversification of Brazilian fauna and flora, expressing the richness of our country's plant and wild life.

The color palette was chosen to pay homage to the country's flag, with colors such as green, blue and yellow incorporating most of the pieces. It was modeled and made with consideration and sophistication, elegance and beauty of the pieces so that the athletes' appearance was highlighted.

Riachuelo as official brand

COB's marketing director, Gustavo Herbetta, cites the choice of Riachuelo as the official brand of the Brazilian Olympic Committee and we presented Riachuelo with the challenge of capturing our vision as a brand in the Brazilian team's parade uniform, with a more avant-garde and innovative approach, incorporating local influence and the desire to convey the best of Brazil in this emblematic and memorable moment for athletes.
