Is it just me or does Hayden look like a creepy old dude who can’t act in this?

COLLAB HO: Zaha Hadid for Lacoste


Award winning architect Zaha Hadid has designed this limited collection of boots for Lacoste. The shoes, rubberized structures that wrap around the legs.
“The design expression behind the collaboration with Lacoste footwear allows the evolution of dynamic fluid grids” says Hadid. “When wrapped around the shape of a foot, these expand and contract to negotiate and adapt to the body ergonomically. In Doing so a landscape emerges, undulating and radiating as it merges seamlessly with the body”.

ADDICT: Lacoste Red
The current Lacoste Red’s campaign is so fresh, great to see a mainstream brand do something young and fun. AND they have made the entire campaign accessible on the Lacoste Red Website allowing visitors to download the wallpapers to their desktop or iPhone, and even creating a Lacoste Red iPhone application.
ADDICT: Lacoste S/S 2009

Don’t the people in Lacoste ads make you feel so lazy and horizontal? They’re always jumping! And probably talking with exclamation marks!
Terry Richardson shot the colorful S/S 2009 ad campaign…!

Lacoste Celebrates 75 Years With A Shoe Collection
I have never been much of a Lacoste fan ever, but as bias as I am against the company, this line of shoes is just awful. I will say the boat shoes are pretty cool, but for the money it would cost me to have them I could have something way better I’m sure. Black and white doesn’t seem like much of a boat shoe color combo anyways. Though there wasn’t really too much depth in Lacoste’s designs that span them too far beyond the country club or a frat house, I guess they now have 25 more years to think about how their 100 year anniversary won’t look like this.

The Sisterhood of Fashion

Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford and Blake Lively

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meister

Ali Lohan

Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton and Ana Ortiz

The stars of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2: Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn.
The NYC premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 came to town last Monday. The stars hit the red carpet dressed in adorable fashion. From casual to chic, the celebs looked fantastic. While Blake Lively’s orange Grecian Gucci dress was my favorite, Alexis Bledel overall look was stunning. America Ferrera’s cerulean Brian Reyes dress looked great on her skin tone, and Amber Tamblyn’s navy jumpsuit was daring.
Unfortunately, everybody was not fashion forward. Lohan was by far the worst dressed. She looked too casual, as though she was going to the mall. Casual can work but it is all about execution. Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick looked laid back and dashing in Lacoste. The Sisterhood stars were all smiles and looked darling. Catch the girls in the film, August 6th!
Thanks to NY Post for the pics!
The Bashed: Junya Wantanbe for Lacoste

The Satchel said it best. The new collaboration with Junya Wantanbe MAN and Lacoste is by far the most laziest, lamest and unnecessary partnership in the history of design. They must have beat Junya over the head with a hammer before asking him to come up with these unoriginal polo’s.
“Yes, I will change the color of the alligator emblem and then sell the polos for $100 more than traditional retail.”
You would think Junya would have made a better effort on this line, but sometimes it’s just about the name and has nothing to do with making good fashion. Or maybe they just didn’t want to send their overstock of polo’s to T.J Maxx or Marshall’s and figured a collaboration with Junya would have been cheaper than paying for shipping?
