RUNWAY: Lacoste SS15
Felipe Oliveira Baptista's last collection for
Lacoste was cool and technical, with a strong emphasis on the French label's sailing heritage. The pieces that melded sport with tailoring faired best while the overtly sporty, like the jerseys or jersey inspired pieces, felt out of place and tried too hard to be trendy. Nevertheless, there were sleek polos in muted colors, abstract graphic tees, great outerwear and high fashion detailing to differentiate itself from the requisite polos the label is best known for.
