In Winter Olympics, as in any other big sport venue, look, fashion, and athletes’ outfits are important to draw the attention of attendance and TV viewers.

Giorgio Armani is outfitting 30 of the Italian athletes featuring in the Winter Olympics of Turin, plus some of NBC’s commentators.

Among the companies outfitting the Olympians, Canadian retailer Roots is in charge of the outfits for the closing ceremony as well as some of the clothing the team will wear while hanging out in the Olympic village.
Michael Budman, Roots co-founder, says:

Our designers drew inspiration from the 1956 Cortina Games. What we came up with is something we call `retro futurism,’ we went back to move forward. The high-tech clothing component is there for performance, but the look, especially the use of white, is definitely retro.”

Versace, after completing the renovation of one of its stores in New York - at 647 Fifth Avenue, has released the figures about the sales increase reported in NYC over the last five months.
Giancarlo Di Risio, chief executive officer of Versace, says:

“Versace has increased its local New York client base by 25 percent over the last five months, even after closing its store at 815 Madison Avenue in 2004. For the month of January, the flagship had a 30 percent sales increase.
We’ve noticed our business with department stores has also increased, especially Saks Fifth Avenue, they’ve confirmed our local clientele.” (Source)

And on the store renovation, he explains:

“It represents a whole new life for Versace in America. We are recapturing a new clientele. That’s what we’re trying to achieve with the change in the style and design of the products and the facelift of the stores.”

Donatella Versace, adds:

“I was looking for a cleaner and fresher image. The store was dated. It was overshadowing the clothes.”
