Did you watch the Opening Ceremony on Friday night? What did you think about Team USA's Ralph Lauren duds? I thought they looked great! The gloves are definitely a statement piece and made the look. A friend and reader (thanks ML) sent me a link to this article that calls out the similarity of the RL glove design to these gloves by Astis Mittens.
After reading the article, it's pretty clear that RL did take "inspiration" from Astis, but I like that they found the positive and are celebrating that it has drawn more attention to this type of glove and to their brand. If you've never seen their beautiful work before, here are a few of my favorites.
They really are a piece of art.
