Nautical Allure-French Flair Separates
So how does a heritage brand keep
it fresh-year after year?
 |
| Lacoste polos...worldwide collar shirt=fit for modern times (and bodies)...iconic and last forever, |
By...establishing seasonal themes-trends-story-boards that make sense for its rich history in the active world...delivering fresh color waves and patterns-every few months- mix in a few new fabrics- with traditional natural fibers and conjure up wearable silhouettes for a global customer base.
 |
| crisp button downs -sleeves rolled up or down..a style that endures. |
For earlier "Fall 2016" deliveries...Lacoste's media preview-showed invitees a winning collection of "...shades of blue ...
and...striking color blocks..." referencing the 1990s (like the graphics on some of the runway pieces -
prior post Part One)...with a design motifs from yachting-nautical endeavors.
Flattering tones on any skin tone...the collection ranged from casual wear to interchangeable work-play separates. Accessories and shoes (a later post)...accented the apparel -perfectly...fyi.
 |
| classic l/s button down shirt-s interpreted in a dress,,,is a wardrobe staple. Mannequin is flanked by modern take on French Breton navy/white stripe top under a slim fitting dark navy blazer...Lacoste also showed off more denim this go round---in various washes. Naturellment-since denim is at least partially, a French invention. |
