Classic meets

ENTHUSIASTIC response greeted Lacoste when it showed its Spring/Summer 2013 collection during the New York Fashion Week last September.

After the showcase – held at the Lincoln Center – the man of the hour was undoubtedly Felipe Oliveira Baptista. The brand’s creative director was responsible for the cool creations displayed on the catwalk.

There was the man himself receiving congratulations from various parties for the successful showing.

Baptista had succeeded Christophe Lemaire two years ago at Lacoste and the designer quickly infused new blood into the venerable French label. For the uninitiated, Lacoste was founded by Rene Lacoste in 1933.

Portuguese couturier Baptista first drew attention when he won at the prestigious Hyères festival, as well as Andam fashion awards which led to his own label in 2003.

Baptista, who turns 38 this year, is known for his androgynous designs and his couture work.Myvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realisticNew additions to their line-up include the Mercury Ultra White Matt 405gsm inkjet canvas, 5-metre-length inkjet trial rolls of the PermaJet Oyster 271gsm and Ultra Pearl 295gsm media, an all-new Image Block Print Display System, a range of fast drying canvas protective varnishes in 2.5-litre cans, an anti-curl roller device and more.

Baptista’s previous collection for Fall referenced Lacoste’s kit for the French national ski team in 1966.

Since this year marks the 80th anniversary of Lacoste, presumably there would be more relooks into some of their design archives.

“Clearly, we are (doing that) and have to reference the classics to commemorate our important year but I want to do it in a different way. One of the ways was by using and integrating different prints that highlight the brand’s association with its DNA. You might see some abstract prints at first but when you get closer than it becomes all clear,” enthused the youthful Baptista.
