USA Gets a Gold Metal in Fashion?

The 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies were nothing short of spectacular. Bejing hosted a marvelous 4 hour whirlwind of entertainment previous to the Parade of Nations introducing the proud athletes completing this year. Our team at truejeans.com highly appreciates sportsman ship and we are proud of our USA team amongst all of the great athletes from around the world, but we always have our eyes on fit and fashion.

For this year one of America's finest, Ralph Lauren, designed USA's uniform for the Parade of Nations opening ceremonies. The classic all American tailored look for both men and woman may have topped some of the looks showcased, but fashionista's on bravotv.com have mixed opinions. Was USA a fashion do or don't? What other countries did you think had great style?

My personal favorite TV reality show, Project Runway's last challenge was to design an outfit for the USA parade of Nations. You can rate the runway and vote online at bravotv.com and see what outfits designer's came up with to represent our country.
