fashion hipsters, Colette are celebrating their 10th anniversary by
collaborating with fellow French label Lacoste for their new spring
range. Combining the Lacoste croc and Colette pooches Caperino
and Peperone, the collection features limited-edition trainers and a
series of 14 polo shirts. ìTo see our dear Caperino and
Peperone play with the big brands is one of our little personal
pleasures,î said Colette art director Sarah Lerfel. The trainers
feature two different designs, one with Cap & Pep chasing the
crocodile on one foot, and the croc chasing Cap & Pep on the
other. The inside lining and laces feature a specially printed
logo, ëCaperino & Peperone Love Lacosteí.
The Lacoste polo range features 14 different designs each telling a
small part of a bigger story of how the crocodile and the dogs
met. Leaving its iconic position on top of the heart, the
crocodile walks around your shirt, and depending on what polo you buy,
he could be sitting on your shoulder or tucked under the collar.
Itís fun, fresh and doesnít take itself too seriously. Maybe
other brands might want to take note. The polos will cost you 140 euros
and the trainers 120. So, what are you waiting for? By Matthew
