John Buccigross Barry Melrose shirt

Product Description

The men will wear John Buccigross Barry Melrose shirt a single-breasted blazer over a cotton T-shirt, which features gold and green ribbing, with beige chino, knee-length shorts. The women can pair a double-breasted version of the blazer with the shorts, or a just-above-the-knee pleated skirt that features a gradient of green, gold and white. The print was, according to Sylvia Jeffreys, the host of Wednesday’s event, “inspired by a warm summer Parisian sunset featuring an ombre green and gold print”. As someone who lived in Paris for four years, I can attest to the sunsets being a spectacular array of colours, but I never once saw the sky turn green. For the first time the Australian Olympians’ oath is embroidered on the inside pocket of each blazer. Indigenous artwork by Olympic boxer Paul Fleming titled Walking Together and by Torres Strait Island artist David Bosun called Ngalmun Danalaig is showcased in the scarf and pocket square respectively. These accessories are the best part of the uniform as they allow athletes a little self-expression: Heyman deftly tied the scarf as a neckerchief, and beach volleyball player Mariafe Artacho del Solar wore one in her hair.

Zara arguably John Buccigross Barry Melrose shirt set the blueprint for every major fast-fashion brand. But unlike Zara, brands such as H&M, Forever 21 and Asos do most of their production in China, Bangladesh and India, where labour is wildly cheap and the factories are far from their headquarters. The rise of Shein marks a new era in the fast-fashion industry. The company produces garments at a rate incomprehensible to its predecessors, all of which were already producing a world-historical quantity of products at an incredible clip. In a recent 12-month period in which former fast-fashion giants Gap, H&M and Zara listed 12,000 to 35,000 new products on their websites, Shein listed 1.3m. Last year, the company brought in $22bn in revenue, a staggering statistic for a corporation that has been around in its current form for less than a decade.
