Ralph Lauren Reveals Team USA’s Milano Cortina 2026 Ceremony Uniforms

Ralph Lauren has unveiled Team USA’s Opening and Closing Ceremony uniforms for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 – marking the brand’s 10th consecutive Games outfitting America’s athletes. Designed to merge timeless craftsmanship with modern athletic style, the looks pay tribute to both the American spirit and Milan’s fashion heritage.

For the Opening Ceremony, athletes will wear a winter-white wool coat with wooden toggles, an American-flag intarsia turtleneck and tailored wool trousers. The Closing Ceremony look reinterprets vintage ski-racing aesthetics, featuring a color-blocked puffer jacket, patriotic wool turtleneck and crisp white utility pants. Both outfits include knit hats and mittens, a leather belt and alpine boots – all manufactured in the U.S.

Ralph Lauren also launches a full Team USA Collection for consumers, spanning apparel and accessories for all ages. The lineup includes shearling jackets, statement sweaters, puffer styles, printed fleece and hockey-inspired pieces in a bold red-white-blue palette.

Alpinestars RSRV Introduces the ALTERED FORMS Collection

Alpinestars RSRV is redefining performance apparel with the launch of its ALTERED FORMS Collection, available from December 9th, 2025. The collection explores the beauty of transformation, taking racewear, deadstock materials, and worn fragments and reimagining them with new purpose. By stripping each piece back to its essential core and rebuilding it with intentional design, the line merges heritage and innovation in a way that feels both fresh and familiar.

Drawing inspiration from the architectural precision of motocross gear and technical apparel, ALTERED FORMS presents boxy, cropped silhouettes and technical details that trace the “ghost lines” of MX jerseys, leather suits, and podium-worn boots. Mesh panels provide breathability, fleece adds softness, and ribbing ensures structure, while printed “scars” recall the speed, endurance, and stories embedded in each fiber.

At its heart, the collection celebrates metamorphosis—not just of materials, but of experience and resilience. Each garment embodies the marks, memories, and journeys carried in reclaimed textiles, transforming them into modern, functional, and aesthetically refined pieces. ALTERED FORMS is both a statement of design with intention and a tribute to reinvention, bridging the past and present through clothing that resonates emotionally as well as visually.
