Lacoste Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:18:02 PST

If the snow outside wasn't enough for NYFW attendees, Felipe Oliveira Baptista provided a few snowflakes of his own for Lacoste's Fall runway show this morning at Lincoln Center. As fake snow blew into the audience, Oliveira Baptista set the tone for his sporty chic ski-inspired line. Mixing in the old - Oliveira Baptista referenced uniforms the brand designed for France's 1966 national ski team - with the new, the designer conceived a smart mix of body-conscious pieces fitting for any après-ski occasion. One can easily head to the slopes, or to the cabin, in one of Oliveira Baptista's rugby-meets-ski minidresses and jumpsuits or sport-striped leggings paired with chic oversized parkas and coats. Leather quilted vests and jackets injected a luxurious touch to the overt sportif theme. With a play on fashionable function, Oliveira Baptista experimented with zippers, some of which opened up all the way up to the shoulders to replicate the look of a cardigan tossed over your shoulder, while others served as pockets for hoods disguised as a stylish oversized collar. More details from the collection below.

Trends: Oversized parkas, colorblock, sporty zipper accents.
Colors: Blue, red, off-white, gray, navy blue, black.
Key Piece: We loved the oversized parka jackets and luxurious quilted leather jackets and vests.
Accessories: Leather platform boots, wool and leather bucket bags, snow goggles/sunglasses, leather gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Anyone looking for a sporty play on Winterwear or otherwise, heading to a ski retreat or chic après-ski event.

Lacoste Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 12:30:48 PDT

Felipe Oliveira Baptista redefined the term "sport chic" today for his debut as the creative director of French sportif brand Lacoste at New York Fashion Week. From beginning to end, Baptista pulled us into his zone, offering up a bevy of polished sportswear via silk anoraks, sexy silk dresses, bold colorblocked dresses, and louche silk blouses. Crisp jackets and tunic-length tops were perfectly tailored, and refreshing layering techniques, like pairing a collared pinafore-inspired dress over a cropped top, drew us in even more. Geo print pieces - we especially loved the turquoise and cobalt blue long-sleeved printed dress - hit all the right notes on this season's popular sport trend. Check out more highlights from the collection below.

Trends: Silk utilitarian ponchos and anoraks, crop tops, colorblock dresses.

Colors: Red, blue, black, sunshine yellow, white.

Key Look: Any of the silk ponchos and printed pieces.

Accessories: Two-tone sandals, sporty sunglasses.

Who Would Wear It: Chic prepsters or girls looking for a modern spin on classic sportswear.

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 06:00:00 PDT

St. Patrick's Day will be here on Thursday, and soon we'll all be awash in green beer and holographic shamrock glitter. The holiday doesn't necessitate throwing on a leprechaun hat, though. You can get into the St. Pat's Day spirit in lots of ways, many of them quite pretty and even (gasp!) nonalcoholic. So check a few picks for going green the fashionable way, whether you're hitting up a parade or just going for a couple of chartreuse cocktails after work.

Interview: Heidi Klum Used to Sew Lacoste Crocodiles on Her Clothes

Heather Maddan — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 12:00:01 PST

Designers would kill to dress Heidi Klum, but while she was growing up, the model didn't always have access to runway fashions. In an interview with the host of Project Runway and the soon-to-air Seriously Funny Kids, the mom of four - Leni, 6, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 1 - divulged how she kept up with her classmates when it came to name brands. Fond of the Lacoste apparel her friends wore, Klum said, "When my parents went to Thailand they bought a whole bag of Lacoste crocodiles and my mom and I would sew them on my clothes." Klum's daughter Leni doesn't have to worry about what she wears to school since she has a uniform.

Lacoste Revamps Its Look With the "Unconventional Chic"

Hannah Weil — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 13:06:50 PST

In an effort to revamp its image, Lacoste is launching a new 2011 ad campaign featuring Liya Kebede and Anja Rubik, among others, topping their eveningwear with the label's iconic polo. As Lacoste's Chief Executive Officer Christophe Chenut explained, the new ads are part of the company's attempt to embody the brand's statement: "We're showing that you can be chic in a different way, not just when you are dressed up for a party or for the office." Sure, they've got some hot models working the look, but I want to know, does this "different" kind of chic speak to you?
