The year’s Olympics has once again brought about celebrations not just for sports but for the art of culture alongside it.

A glimpse of the showcase presented the mannequins adorning various garments in representation of sports. Badminton, soccer, gymnastics, boxing, and more could be seen taking a new imaginative form as intended by the designer. “An exhibition labeled #OlympiadeCulturelle not to be missed in 2024!” the roughly translated caption reads. It further revealed the title translating to “‘Fashion and sport, from one podium to another’ by Sophie Lemahieu.”

Concerts, performances, exhibitions, dance shows, films, workshops for all ages, and celebratory parades will offer a crossroad between sports, art, and the Olympics according to Cultural Olympiad.
