The recently unveiled Lacoste Holiday Collection for 2009 is gator overload. Based on the Alligator Chair by Fernando and Humberto Campana, the design duo has created these limited edition polo shirts.
The preppy white shirts have been covered to various degrees with the famous Lacoste alligator logos. The masses of gators represent the way the reptiles huddle together in the mud. The ‘Super Limited Edition’ polo shirt made completely of embroidered Lacoste logos will be only available to 12 lucky men and women.
The launch of the collection was June 27, 2009 at the Hotel De Roquelaure Paris, France. The jungle-like photos are from this event.
