The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics prominently featured fashion, with LVMH acting as a headline sponsor and its brands like Chaumet, Louis Vuitton, Berluti, and Dior playing key roles in medal design, athlete outfitting, and performer dressing. In contrast, the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan will not have a similar fashion focus. Despite Milan's status as a major fashion capital, no major fashion brand has stepped up as a sponsor. This lack of fashion involvement may be due to the Winter Olympics' reduced opportunities for creative dressing, the uncertain economic climate making large sponsorships less appealing, or the Winter Games' lower viewership compared to the Summer Games. While some fashion names are involved on a smaller scale, the absence of a major fashion sponsor is considered a missed opportunity given the growing connection between sports and fashion.
