For the fourth Holiday Collector’s Series by Lacoste, Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have created a range of polo shirts for Lacoste.

The special edition is based on their famed Alligator Chair, which shows how the reptiles pile up in mud beds during the dry season in their natural habitat.

This is replicated by embroidering a cluster of eight crocodile logos onto a classic men’s and women’s white polo shirt.

There will be two limited editions of 20 000 pieces in the Campanas + Lacoste series.

Anavilhanas, small fluvial islands on the Amazon, inspired a limited edition of 125 pieces for men, while Lianas vines that grow in trees in the tropical rainforests inspired a limited edition of 125 pieces for women.

These are crafted from various sizes of the iconic Lacoste crocodile logo.

Finally, the super limited edition will be made to order only with up to 12 men’s and 12 women’s editions created, it is hand-crafted completely from crocodile logos, recalling the lace work of Northern Brazil.

The limited and super limited editions are produced exclusively in cooperation with Coopa-Roca, a socially responsible sustainable development organization based in the Rocinha favela of Rio de Janeiro that provides work for the very creative craftswomen and seamstresses who live in that underprivileged neighborhood.

The Collection was officially launched in Paris, France, the 27th June in a very special installment at the Hotel de Roquelaure, part of the Save Your Logo Campaign from Lacoste.
