There has been speculation in the French press that Catherine Malandrino might replace Lemaire, but a representative for Lacoste says otherwise: “Catherine is not going to be the new designer at Lacoste. We are currently undergoing the search for a new designer, but don’t expect to announce a new designer until the end of the year."

Christophe Lemaire Replaces Jean-Paul Gaultier as Creative Director of Hermes

Christophe Lemaire, the man behind the commercial resurgence of Lacoste, is headed to Hermes. It was announced today that Lemarie will be replacing Jean-Paul Gaultier, who has been at Hermes for seven years and is reportedly leaving to focus on his namesake lines. Gaultier will stay on at Hermes until the Spring 2011 runway show in Paris this October, and Hermes will continue to own a 45% stake in Gaultier's fashion house.

News of Gaultier's departure comes two weeks after the death of Jean-Louis Dumas, former president and chief executive of Hermes, who hired Gaultier in 2003 to jump-start the the company's ready-to-wear business. “Hermes is deeply grateful to Jean-Paul Gaultier for his outstanding creative contribution,” the company said today in a statement.

Christophe Lemaire, who will show his first Hermes collection for the Fall 2011 season, launched his own brand in 1991 and has worked in the houses of Christian Lacroix, Jean Patou, Yves Saint Laurent, and Thierry Mugler.

A pair of brothers, known for their furniture designs made of unconventional materials, designed this Alligator Chair in 2004. It must have made a good impression on Lacoste, because the brand commissioned the duo, the world's most famous Brazilian designers, to create this limited edition t-shirt. It's embroidered with vines of the iconic Lacoste alligator and inspired by the vines that grow in trees in Brazilian rain forests. The t-shirt sells for $1,900 and benefits a women's cooperative called Coopa-Roca in Brazil. Can you name the designers who designed both this alligator chair and t-shirt? (Just name their last name.)
