Olympic podium uniform sets the pace

Yip reveals that they made over 10 samples till they settled with one.

"I'm grateful that Anta worked with me with full heart to meet the many of my 'harsh' demands. They spent time and made much effort, together we made improvement little by little, and finally we created the design that is both functional and comfortable," he says.

For the color combination of the uniform, Yip chose to use a large area of pure white with Chinese red as decoration.

He claims,"The colors themselves are emotionless, but through visual communication, they create a classical balance together, like yang and yin, solid and void."

Yip thinks that these two colors reveal two sides of Chinese people: red represents enthusiasm, sincereness, positive attitude and concentration; white, which is like the blank space in Chinese landscape painting, brings a sense of inclusiveness and infinite.
