Advertise on podcast: Culture Yourself

This is the final episode of the Olympic Games series. I will continue to explore the relationship between Fashion and the Olympic Games from 1972 till present time, TOKYO 2020.

The Olympic Games are much more than sport. This episode will explore fashion's long history at the games since the first Olympic of Ancient Greek ( lack of dress ) till Mexico city games in 1968. It is a story about the significance and symbolism of dress along the history, the power of dress as a part of national identity and the story clothes can tell us without saying a word.

At the next episodes of "Culture Yourself" we will celebrate the Olympic Games without being in TOKYO. It will be a series that explores the origins of the games and the women's presence since ancient time. The next part will cover the history, the meaning and the symbolism of dress from the first Olympic till today.
