[NEW RELEASE] LACOSTE - CABESTAN 75 YEAR
René Lacoste is above all, a legend. A star on the courts of Wimbledon, Forest Hills and Roland Garros, René was one of the famous Four Musketeers (Jean Borot, Jacques Brugno, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste) who dominated the game of tennis in the late ‘20s and early ‘30s. They eventually led France to six straight wins (1927 through 1932) in the Davis Cup, and Rene became the world number one tennis player from 1926-1927. Nicknamed the ‘Crocodile’ and ‘Alligator’ for his tenacious attitude on the court, Rene is now better known for being the namesake and creator of the iconic 12.12 Lacoste Tennis shirt, which debuted in 1933.
Fast forward 75 years and the brand are celebrating this momentous occasion by launching a series of monotone shoes inspired by their tennis and yachting heritage. Unique to the 75 year collection is the use of the original crocodile which originated in 1933 and is embossed onto the uppers of each shoe. Tastefully executed in a consistent black and white scheme, the pack is a fitting tribute to the original purveyor of cool. July Release...
Forget being stranded on a desert island, its almost the end of March and it feels like it's the middle of winter, its blowing a blizzard outside, its freezing, its too cold to leave my warm home without a good reason. I guess I'm kind of stranded indoors.
So here I am sitting looking out the window at this miserable Scottish weather wishing I was stranded on a beautiful and warm deserted island, {somewhere in the Caribbean would do very nicely}. So I thought why not create my own version of that well known radio show My Desert Island Disks.
Just like on the BBC Radio 4 show My Desert Island Disks, I get to choose 8 of my favourite records, one book (excluding the bible, other religious works and Shakespeare, as these are already waiting for me} and one luxury item {which must be inanimate and have no practical use}, these are the things I get to take with me if I were to be stranded on a desert island.
