Unusual proportions in Lacoste Autumn-Winter 2021-22 collection
LACOSTE’S Autumn Winter 2021-22 collection — designed by Louise Trotter — tricks the eye with blown-up and shrunken proportions, unexpected fabrications, and the emergence of comic Lacoste characters. Like a cartoon, the signature house crocodile is reborn larger than life, as archive claw patches and bold croc heads create a new iconography alongside flaming tennis balls, a “tennis net” shadow check, and an L-shaped varsity logo. The concept of the tracksuit and twinset are subverted in multiple ways for men and women, as trompe l’oeil shirting, cardigans, and jogging pants are all cut in cotton piqué -— the keystone material of the Lacoste polo shirt — to create subtly matching sports ensembles. Tailoring reflects the sartorial heritage of the house founder René Lacoste, as the smooth enveloping lines of peacoats, varsity jackets, overcoats and trenches are tweaked for today with knit collars, bonding for bounce, and light nylon quilting. Shell suits, puffer coats and quilted liners are reconstructed from a patchwork of vintage and deadstock Lacoste fabrics, creating new geometries in classic sport shapes. In the Philippines, Lacoste is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and has stores at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Alabang Town Center, City of Dreams, Eastwood Mall, Estancia in Capitol Commons, Fairview Terraces, Gateway Mall, Greenbelt 5, Newport Mall, Podium, Power Plant Mall, Robinson’s Galleria, Robinson’s Magnolia, Robinson’s Place Manila, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Shangri-La Plaza East Wing, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, Solaire, Trinoma, UP Town Center, Waterfront Cebu, Ayala Center Cebu, Abreeza Davao, SM Davao, Veranza KCC Mall General Santos and Zamboanga. Lacoste Accessories is located at Glorietta 4; Lacoste Sport at Ayala Center Cebu; and Lacoste Footwear at Alabang Town Center.

Longchamp collaborates with Emotionally Unavailable
LONGCHAMP is unveiling its latest — and particularly audacious — collaboration: with Emotionally Unavailable (EU), the contemporary fashion brand founded by friends and kindred creative spirits Edison Chen and Kybum Lee. Like many designers before them, EU were inspired by Longchamp’s iconic Le Pliage, not only for its unique cross-gender, cross-generational appeal, but also for its unlimited potential for artistic reinterpretations. They bring their signature offbeat humor to the collaboration in the form of a play on the Longchamp name: “Been a CHAMP a LONG time.” The line hints at the design duo’s inspiration, which is the mind-set of the champion boxer, who fights on even when he’s down. However, their wider message — that, with the same mind-set, we can all be champions in life — also echoes the optimistic, dynamic attitude of Longchamp. Boldly emblazoned in white on the black Le Pliage bags, this slogan is accompanied by the tongue-in-cheek “Professional Heartbreaker,” a nod to EU’s cult bleeding heart logo. The “Been a CHAMP” design is featured on four nylon formats of Le Pliage: a shoulder bag, a small tote, a mini backpack, and a belt bag, while a spacious travel bag is printed with an all-over pattern of red EU hearts and Longchamp racehorses. All the bags feature a witty allusion to the other EU in the form of a European Union number-plate label on the side, made up of the EU flag, an EU heart, and the Longchamp reference for each format. A pink version of this line is exclusive to China, while a lilac iteration of the shoulder bag will be available only in a Longchamp pop-up in Shanghai. Emotionally Unavailable also tackled the Le Pliage Cuir, for which they transformed the Longchamp signature into a bold, boxing-style logo printed over the EU bleeding heart on the travel bag in supple black lambskin (equipping it with adjustable straps so it can be carried as a backpack as well as on the shoulder or in the hand). The leather line is completed by a mini tote with a removable shoulder strap and card holder-cum-coin purse-cum-key reel on a lanyard, while a miniature cross-body bag is printed with the all-over heart and racehorse pattern. The collaboration also extends to a capsule of ready-to-wear: a grey-marl hoodie, black sweatshirt and black and white tees printed with the “Been a CHAMP” or boxing logo designs, and black satin shorts and a matching kimono with a white tie belt, and a short-sleeved crew and drawstring pants in black lambskin combine Longchamp’s leather goods heritage with EU’s contemporary fashion vision. Longchamp is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5 and Rustans.com.
