LACOSTE BRAND HISTORY


take a trip back in time for a while, 1933 to be exact! the year that professional tennis master Rene Lacoste teamed up with Andre Gillier (french knitwear giant) and started sewing small embroidered crocodile’s on polo shirts.
Tennis was the intended arena for these polo shirt but other sports soon followed suit, by around the 1950s lacoste were producing shirts for golf and sailing. It was also around this time that Rene Lacoste grew his business and moved from the all white of the tennis courts to a range of colour’s for the elite sportsman and their upper-class wealthy followers.
For us at red square Lacoste has been at the heart of our business since the day it first graced our shelves 21 years ago and has since has grew from strength to strength with the ever evolving vast spectrum of colours in their now world renoundL1212 polo.
Lacoste is a brand that has seen off all competition and survived a world war. Just goes to show Quality lasts forever!

Modern streetwear

Modern urban streetwear was born out of the sub-cultures in American Metropolis' such as New York and Los Angeles. The movement was generally accepted to have been born out of the surf culture in late 1970s / early 1980s in LA. Local Surf Board designer Shawn Stussy started printing his tag on T-shirts and sold them on the beaches. Early streetwear brands took inspiration from the DIY aesthetic of Punk, and later Hip Hop cultures. Established sportswear and fashion brands attached themselves to the emerging early 1980s Hip Hop scence such as Le Coq Sportif, Kangol and adidas The Nike capture of soon to be superstar basketball protege Michael Jordan from rivals adidas in 1984 proved to be a huge turning point, as Nike dominated the urban streetwear sneaker market in the late 80's and early 90's. Other clothing brands such as Champion, Carhaart and Timberland were very closely associated with the scene, particularly on the East coast with hip hop acts such as Wu Tang Clan and Gangstarr sporting the look. The mid to late 90's saw the professional American Sports franchises have a huge impact on the look of the scence, from the LA Raiders and Chicage Bulls caps and jackets in the early 90's to the oversized team uniforms of the late 90's that were very popular. With the advent of "Bling" culture, the turn of the century saw an increase in established luxury brands beginning to make in roads in to the market such as Burberry, Gucci and Fendi all making appearances in Hip Hop video's and films. The most popular shoe of the era was undoubtidly the Nike Air Force One, immortalized in the song by Nelly. Brand launches by the chief execs of record company's were the next fad in the scene with Russell Simmons of Def Jam launching his Phat Farm label, Sean Combs of Bad Boy with Sean John, and Jay-Z and Damon Dash of Roca-Fella launching Roca-Wear. Rap superstar 50 Cent a few years later launched his G Unit clothing label, with the sneaker rights given to Reebok. There seems to have been a slight back lash against the over-exposed, easliy available streetwear brands from major followers of the scene, and vintage / limited edition sneakers and apparel have become popular. Original Air Jordan MK1's have been seen on ebay for $800. There are web sites dedicated to hard to find sneakers and apparel. Japanese streetwear giant Bathing Ape revolutionized the scene with its 2004 US launch. The camouflage items are often difficult to obtain, and come at a premium price.

Wikipedia streetwear


Street wear is a distinctive style of fashion not to be confused with hip hop fashion. Its roots are in skateboarding and the "skatewear" of the 1980s. It was later adopted as an urban fashion in Japan before growing to an international business. An important element to the style is vintage or vintage-style sneakers.
Street wear is youth – it’s a retro 80s look inspired by the sneaker culture and hipsters on New York’s Lower East Side.” But, don’t confuse street wear with Urban fashion – looking like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is miles away from the dark denim, baggy clothing and white sneakers that defined the inner-city’s Urban look. “American Apparel, H&M, Uniqlo – the whole [design concept] is based on street wear
—Devon Griffith, Head of Design at Massive Revolution
