Egyptian Olympians to Wear Fake Nike and Adidas!

Egyptian Olympic team officials found themselves at the centre of an embarrassing fiasco involving their athletes and fake Nike team uniforms! Egypt’s country’s committee chairman, General Mahmoud Ahmed Ali told the Press, “we signed with a Chinese distributor in light of Egypt’s economic situation,” who sent him the counterfeit merchandise, including bags with “large Nike logos on the front, but the zippers have ‘Adidas’ written on them.” Two brands for less than the price of one!

Participating synchronised swimmer Yomna Khallaf tweeted how she had been given a series of crude knock-offs in her team clothing kit! And she also claimed she was forced to spend about $300 of her own money to buy genuine Nike gear after members of the Egyptian Olympic Committee in Egypt told her to take the gear or go without!

Yesterday, two days after the incident broke out, Nike announced it was donating gear to the Egyptian athletes! Seriously, Egypt?!

A Peek Inside: Christian Louboutin’s Desert Home In Egypt!

French shoe designer Christian Louboutin lives the best of the two worlds; the craze of fashion and star-studded events, the signature red-soled stilettos he creates, and, the regular appearances on international red carpets. The other is a private retreat nestled in the desert near the Egyptian city of Aswan! not far from the banks of the Nile!! Louboutin comes here throughout the year to design new collections, rest, and practice yoga.

The rooms are decorated with pieces Louboutin has collected on his travels: Uzbek embroidered fabrics, Moroccan rugs, handmade furniture from Cameroon; the heart of the home is the open-air courtyard, with a fireplace that blazes through the cool desert evenings.
