ODE TO SPORT BY PIERRE DE COUBERTIN
PIERRE DE COUBERTAIN – ODE TO SPORT…. This poem by Pierre de Coubertin won the gold medal for literature at the 1912 Paris Olympics…. O Sport, pleasure of the Gods, essence of life, you appeared suddenly in the midst of the grey clearing which writhes with the drudgery of modern existence, like the radiant messenger of a past age, when mankind still smiled. And the glimmer of dawn lit up the mountain tops and flecks of light dotted the ground in the gloomy forests. II O Sport, you are Beauty!

Another Chance To Look At The “OOF Wear Winter Games” AW 21 Collection – “Where Fashion Meets Sport”
With its FW 2021 collection and associated fashion film, OOF WEAR reaffirms the green and animal-friendly approach that has always characterised its stylistic signature: comprehensive sustainability, which necessarily ranges from the use of certified, eco-sustainable materials to the decision not to use textiles of animal origin, replacing them with state-of-the-art high-performance alternatives. “OOF WINTER GAMES” COLLECTION AW 21 OOF Winter Games is the short auteur film directed by Andrea Calvetti, who chooses beautiful Lake Misurina in the Dolomites and the occasion of the winter games as an extraordinary backdrop for the brand’s collection, inspired by colour and energy in which references to the world of athleisure find a natural and relevant home. Welcome to OOF Winter G...
