RUNWAY: Lacoste SS14

Lacoste's Felipe Jean Baptiste has transformed the French label into an ultra-sporty, modern iteration of its former self. His offerings for Lacoste's Spring/Summer 2014 collection include ethereal colors, such artistic wave prints on a translucent shirt, pajama-inspired fashion that seems to have transported itself from the men's collection in Europe back in June and July, to slim and flattering suiting that's surprisingly fresh for the casualwear label. With the US Open happening concurrently as NYFW, it's hard not to find parallels between Lacoste's collections every year and the famed tennis championship.
