Lacoste's 75th, creative director
Christophe Lemaire took the path of least resistance, back to the label's Biarritz roots. People in that part of France are fond of an old, tennis-like ball game called Basque pelote. really have what it takes to update a classic. He opened the show with white blazers trimmed with red and black, especially the first all-white looks had an appropriately vintage feel, worn with Basque-red cummerbunds and espadrilles to underline the regional story.
Lacoste still means tennis, especially when the company's box at the U.S. Open was a fashion hot spot, but
Christophe Lemaire has managed to extend the association with intimations of other leisurely pursuits.
Lemaire can at least make his audience think summery thoughts.
