ROME (AP) — Italy is turning up the style for next year’s London Olympics.

The Italian Olympic Committee announced that Giorgio Armani will outfit the Azzurri for the Summer Games.

Details of the deal will be revealed next week.

Combining sport and fashion is nothing new for Armani, which has hired the likes of David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal as models in recent years. Armani also controls Milan’s basketball team.

Italy wore Freddy at the 2008 Beijing Games.
