I am quite happy because fellow Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista has been named new Creative Director at Lacoste, a brand which has recently managed to be cool and trendy again!
His first collection will debut in September 2011 during New York Fashion Week. Felipe said: “I will associate the main values and DNA of the brand with a more transversal women’s wardrobe, something which appeals to a younger woman and which is feminine and unique. I also plan to do extensive research in fabrics and experiment with colors in order to create an effortlessly chic aesthetic.”
Good luck!
