Last July 13, Michel & Amazonka unveiled the designs of Team Mongolia's uniforms for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 33rd Summer Olympics in Paris. Presented in two styles for each gender, key features of the design include a long traditional equestrian robe as its base, embroidered vests in blue or white, and traditional Mongolian boots known as Gutals. The women's attire includes traditional accessories such as earrings and a pouch handbag.
Michel & Amazonka is a Mongolian brand founded by sisters, Michel, Amazonka, and Munkhjargal Choigaalaa. Having previously designed Team Mongolia's outfits for the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, their creations for this year's Summer Olympics offer a fresh take on their signature style: a coming together of cultural heritage and modern silhouettes. A highlight of their designs for the 2024 Olympic Games are the gold-embroidered motifs that represent the Olympic torch and the unity of Mongolia's ethnic groups
