Fernando and Humberto Campana for LACOSTEFor the fourth Holiday Collector’s Series by
LACOSTE, the Campanas,
Fernando and Humberto Campanawho carry the duality of their rural Brazilian background and the urban
codes from their youth and adulthood, have created an exclusive range
of polos.
The special edition of 20 000 pieces is based on their famous 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 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.
