TURIN (Reuters) - Kazakhstan came to the Winter Olympics with few hopes of winning a medal but they have already scooped one of the highest accolades in Italy.

Top fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana voted the Kazakhs the most stylish team to parade at the Olympics opening ceremony and said they would happily cast them on their catwalk.

"We would hire the athletes from Kazakhstan in a second, so stylish in their black coats and Borsalino hats, so Dolce & Gabbana," the designers wrote in Italian daily La Stampa.

The French were fanciest, although "a little too perfectly tailored", the Russians looked "all Christmas in white jackets that somehow managed to make them look slimmer and taller", and the Italians were, of course, "glamorous".

So who were the losers?

"The Chinese wore the kitchiest, clad in long down jackets that made them look like sandwiches and even shorter than they already are," Dolce & Gabbana wrote.

The Germans' tangerine and lime outfits were dubbed an "overdose of vitamin C", the Danes' hats were likened to horrible "waffles" and the Americans' "flabby berets ... looked like upside down underwear".

sanita said, she was embarrassed by those hats and outfits...
