Favorite Five: Lacoste Fall 2013

Cover

Lacoste sent models onto the runway though a multi paneled, white cube,  further delving into their spacey vision of the future—technical fabrications, elongated torsos and exaggerated collars.

Designing a men’s collection based on one of the most famous women in history is in and of itself a testament to the audacity of said female: Amelia Earhart. So it was all brazen early 30′s flight—an inspiring theme we don’t see enough of in the world. The retro thing came on strong in each [...]
