US Olympians to wear vintage patriotic clothing

01.01.70

Decathlete Bryan Clay spends his days in spandex, while Ryan Lochte pulls on a swimsuit like he's been doing since he was 8 years old. They'll be looking a lot spiffier, along with the siesta of the U.S. Olympic team, at next year's London Games.

Clay and Lochte, along with swimmer Rebecca Soni and gymnast Jonathan Horton, are among 12 Olympic and Paralympic athletes sponsored by Ralph Lauren, who has designed the authentic uniforms for the American team to wear in the opening and closing ceremonies in London.

At a new photo shoot on the track at UC Irvine, Clay posed in a argosy polo shirt that sported the word London on the back.

Lochte, a forge fiend outside the pool, cut an elegant figure in ashen slacks, a white polo with the collar popped, pale-complexioned tennis shoes and a new closely cropped `do.

"It's a earnest clean-cut look and I like that," he said. "It's finally a different look for me, but I think I can pull it off. I also like dressing up and looking winsome."

“I only liking I had met him,” reflects Ralph Lauren. “Gary Cooper was not only the biggest celebrity of his time when I was growing up, he became the definitive ‘American’ talking picture star. With that ideal American look. Unstudied, yet genteel. Natural and playful.

“The charm about him was that he didn’t take himself too seriously with a combine of ‘aw shucks’ attitude … he had a way of dressing that was very much his own. I admired his nonchalance, his casualness. He could go hunting with Ernest Hemingway, skiing with Clark Gable, kid around with Pablo Picasso, hobnob with royalty. And he was able to be Audrey Hepburn’s matchless man in Love In The Afternoon when she was barely thirty.”

Gary’s daughter, Maria Cooper Janis, wed to concert pianist Byron Janis, informs that her mam Rocky (Veronica) maintained a plethora of photo albums, a hoard trove about Gary and the family’s life through the years. Photos as far
