Swarovski Lights Up Paris
As the City of Lights welcomes athletes on to the world’s greatest sporting stage, Elite Sportswear, LP and USA Gymnastics unveil eight stunning new leotard designs for Team USA, embellished with over 47,000 Swarovski Crystals.
In a patriotic palette of red, white, and blue, three of the leotards take inspiration from the iconic stars and stripes of the American flag. The remaining five pay homage to this year’s host city. For the first time, Swarovski Crystal Pearls have been incorporated into the gymnasts’ costumes, reflecting the renowned elegance of Paris in the athletic realm. Flecked with subtle touches of gold, the leotards also celebrate Team USA’s previous successes.
Taking Elite Sportswear, LP two years to concept and create, the leotards fuse couture-like details with high-tech fabrics in silhouettes shaped for podium-worthy performances. Shimmering with artistry, pride, and precision, each design captures the brilliance of the gymnasts and the unique spirit of the competition.
