Trendy Fashion Week Spotlight - Lacoste


Sporty chic seemed to be the theme and what creative director Christophe Lemaire was aiming for. The collection as a whole featured the usual relaxed and comfortable basics that Lacoste is known for. The stripe motifs mixed with neutral crisp colors including the standard whites and navy. There were also some fun alternatives for those of you who live by the "simple but chic" rule. The offerings included poplin pleated skirts, poncho inspired blouses, and the mod-chic wide leg linen pants. The theme hindered on flowy and slouchy shapes paired with more streamlined pieces. The men also had a good display that was appropriately reminiscent of the U.S. open, with an homage being payed to striped polos, boatneck sweaters and cool breezy cotton pleated pants. There was definitely something for everybody. And even though it wasn't the most inspiring or edgy collection, it was definitely a very practical and simplistic attempt that will ultimately satisfy the palette of a lot of major retailers.
