Haïti is preparing to make Olympic history once again, this time on the snowy slopes of Milano Cortina 2026.

Designed by renowned designer Stella Jean, in collaboration with former ski champion Pietro Vitalini, these outfits stand out for their truly unique character.
They are the only ones in the entire competition to have been entirely hand-painted, a bold choice that places art at the very heart of athletic performance.
The design draws its inspiration from the rich visual world of contemporary Haitian artist Édouard Duval-Carrié, a major figure in Caribbean art.
Vibrant colors, powerful symbols, and profound cultural references blend to create a powerful aesthetic, telling the story of Haiti’s resilience and identity on a global stage.
Far beyond mere sports equipment, these outfits become true works of art in motion, embodying a remarkable fusion of Haitian culture, artistic creation, and high-level sport. They serve as a reminder that Haiti’s presence at the Olympic Games is not limited to competition, but is also part of a strong cultural and symbolic commitment.

A simple Google search for "Haïti" will leave you with a bitter taste, as you will mostly discover degrading images that fail to pay homage to Haïti’s natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. This reality stems from a multitude of online media outlets that, in their relentless quest for visibility and profit, disseminate images that do not reflect the true essence of Haïti. It is time to challenge this trend and raise awareness among Haïtian online media of the profound impact of their editorial choices on the image of their own country. b~The Consequences of the Dissemination of Degrading Images:~b Sharing degrading images of Haïti contributes to perpetuating prejudices and reinforcing negative stereotypes associated with the country. This can have serious consequences for tourism, foreign investment, and even the national pride of Haïtians. Furthermore, it creates a distortion of reality, masking the many positive and inspiring aspects of Haïti. b~A Call for Editorial Responsibility:~b It is imperative that Haïtian online media take editorial responsibility in ensuring that the images and stories they broadcast reflect the diversity and richness of Haïti. Rather than focusing only on the negative aspects, they should highlight the successes, positive initiatives, and exceptional contributions of Haïtians to global society. b~Promote a Balanced Image:~b Haïti’s diversity, both culturally and socially, deserves to be celebrated. Haïtian online media have the opportunity to play a key role in promoting a more balanced image of the country by highlighting its successes, its innovations and its rich history. This will not only help educate the global public, but also inspire pride and confidence in Haïtians themselves. It is time for Haïtian online media to realize their power as opinion shapers and actively contribute to transforming Haïti’s image. By choosing to share balanced and positive stories, they can play a vital role in building a more accurate and respectful perception of this remarkable country. It is a call for editorial responsibility, sensitivity and national pride, in order to restore Haïti to its rightful place on the world stage.
