Ports 1961 to dress NBC's Olympic reporters
The 2008 Olympics kick off on August 8, and as well as rippling thigh muscles and supernatural biceps, you can expect a dose of high fashion thanks to Ports 61, the New York label that is dressing select NBC female commentators throughout the games.
The announcement was made today by David Neal, Executive Producer of NBC Sports and Tia Cibani, Creative Director of Ports 1961.
NBC Late Night Show host and Olympic Correspondent Mary Carillo, MSNBC Coverage Host Melissa Stark, USA Network and CNBC Coverage Host Alex Flanagan and Oxygen Coverage Host and Sports Desk Reporter Lindsay Czarniak will all be outfitted in Ports 1961.
Tia Cibani of Ports 1961 said she was "honored" to have the opportunity, and feels she can relate to the reporters' hectic work schedule and their need for "easy, modern, and accessible clothing that travels well".
NBC owns the exclusive U.S. media rights to the Olympic Games through 2012--meaning Beijing in 2008, Vancouver in 2010 and London in 2012.
