Dear readers of sport&beauty. Slowly but surely, Summer is coming to an end and Fall is approaching apace. So, it’s high time to start talking about 2010/2011 Fall Winter collections. To start with, we’re going to dedicate today’s post to Christophe Lemaire’s Lacoste 2010 ready-to-wear Fall collection. In the unveiling of its 2010 Fall collection, Lacoste presented the attendance with a book about the history of the brand of the cocodrile. The first part of the show was inspired in this book where René Lacoste and friends can be seen playing tennis in the 1930, s. Underneath the traditional Lacoste logo, a large golden crocodile, Christophe Lemaire sent down the runway a wearable and wonderfully designed ready-to-wear collection. Lacoste 2010 Fall collection tries to merge the essence of the brand’s own enthusiastic and sporting style with the imagination and sophistication of the runways. In this part of the show, we could admire a bunch of sophisticated designs in grey, stone, and white tones and a set of oversized outerwear garments. Jerseys and knit jackets for boys and knit clothing for girls are a must, all of them wrapped in the classic Lacoste’s charming French style.
Once more, the French brand remains determined in its commitment to harmonize comfort and a distinctive touch of charm. Lacoste’s 2010 Fall Winter collection is aimed at two different goals: give a new approach to its new jackets for men and pay close attention to volume in its women’s designs. Men’s peacoats are oversized and feature big lapels and generous raglan shoulders with a strong touch of relaxing Scandinavian languish. Raglan sleeves are also present in short jackets inspired in work wear. As far as women is concerned, we can see how ankle-ribbed long john leggings provide a good dose of balance and comfort to a large grey peacoat featuring big lapels in vintage volume.
The rest of Lacoste’s 2010 ready-to-wear Fall collection is characterized by a rush of color. The classic green, pink, blue and yellow tones remind us Lacoste’s heritage and point out Lemaire’s attention to detail and tradition. Within this group we can highlight a black convertible funnel minidress paired with yellow leggings and a purple belt (first picture), jackets with or without hood, peacoats, long tube dresses over the classic polo shirt made in double-faced wool to endure harsh winter weather conditions, sweatshirts, polo shirts and, above all, leggings in a wide range of colors: pink, yellow, purple, green… The jewels of the crown are a couple of wool jumpsuits (pink and blue) cinched with a contrasting obi sash with the blue one paired with a long sleeveless coat with shoulders a la Balmain.
Let’s talk a bit about accessories. Obi sashes are almost a must for women. Classic headgear garments such as berets and bowler hats have been redesigned in modern shapes. Berets have reduced their size and bowler hats car be worn tilted to one side as the other end drapes over the face. As far as men’s and women’s footwear is concerned, we have to highlight classic shapes such as sneakers and desert boots redesigned in lively colors and new materials. Women’s desert boots become more fashionable by adding heels while men’s boots come in urban colors such as purple, mustard yellow, and orange.
To finish this post I'll leave you a slideshow with the pictures of Lacoste's RTW designs for this coming Fall Winter season and a video where you can see the fashion show. Best regards.
