We cant always wear our designer dresses. Sometimes it is appropriate to go casual.

Zaha Hadid for Lacoste.

Beautiful, sculptural, conceptual and utterly unwearable in public or in front of the mirror. I would so make fun of anyone who wears these in public. These ‘shoes’ belong more to an art gallery than on my feet.

Fernando and Humberto Campana for Lacoste


The project is based on their famed Alligator Chair, which shows how the reptiles pile up in mud beds during the dry season in their natural habitat. The Campanas + LACOSTE series features shirts with arrangements of embroidered reptiles, a reference to both Lacoste’s crocodile motif and the designers’ Alligator Chair, which is upholstered with cuddly toy alligators.

Thank god they are limited edition.

Michael Young's "Plastic Polo" for Lacoste.


Since plastic has always been a favorite material of Michael Young, so for LACOSTE he experimented with combining plastics and fabrics to create a fresh, futuristic polo that reflects the heritage of the brand. “Years ago I discovered these colourful gardening gloves in Japan that had a latex coating and started collecting them, but until now I never found any use for them,” Young explains. “When I began working on the LACOSTE project, I knew I had found my chance to explore this technique.” And thus the PLASTIC POLO was born.

These look pretty good. I have to see how they feel first, but this one I can get on board with.
