emulating the long and graceful silhouette of the Moroccan Djellaba

The Olympics but high fashion, 30 looks for 30 countries (Threadreader version, original Twitter, video on TikTok). See also the request to make an outfit for every year since the beginning of time. Wisdom Kaye previously on MeFi.

I probably have no business having opinions on fashion, but:

1. I am captivated by Morocco.
2. Palestine is also arresting.
3. China looks like an action hero outfit.
4. Nigeria looks like he should be able to fly, like a character in a Mœbius comic.
5. Spain also looks like an action hero; maybe they could be a team.

Thank you for sharing. That was definitely worth a look, even for the fashion backward (by which I mean me), to check out how the colours of the flag and some 'sense' of a national dress style combined.

Oh man, I wanna get this guy in a room with Tom and Lorenzo because the three of them would probably have a fascinating conversation about expressing National Identity Through Clothing.

I hope that the male members of the Palestinian teams have facial coverings.

Screw you fashion industry. I will not be tricked into wearing bell bottoms anytime soon.

I'm so very glad this was the first bit of internet I consumed today. I feel more ready for the day.
