Lacoste makes its mark on fashion this year as it celebrates its 80^th birthday. So naturally they asked iconic artist, Peter Saville, who has worked with everyone from Dior to Joy Division to help them, help you celebrate. Together they add a spin on what they do best – the Polo.

Instead of changing the color, or shape, Saville went in for the brands crocodile ambassador. The 80^th anniversary Holiday Collector N°8 series polo will remain white with a green crocodile. However, the crocodile logo will be transformed to take on different shapes. Its shape evolves into a doodle, blur or line version of itself pushing the boundaries of the brand’s identity. Two collections will be available that include the Holiday Collector series and a truly Limited Edition. Lacoste’s Holiday collector series consists of white polo’s for men and women with eight choices of “crazy crocodiles”. But the truly Limited Edition includes only 80 for women and 80 for men. Each will sport a completely unique logo and a certificate of authenticity signed by Saville himself.

If you’re looking for holiday gift ideas for the man that leans towards preppy one of these makes a one-of -kind gesture. Lacoste honors its original polo exclusively made for the English football team by keeping white color and green logo. The brand only begun to add color in the 1950s. You can pick one of these up at any Lacoste boutique this November.

‘Made in America’: Paul Fredrick celebrates 40 years of style

Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

There are a handful of brands that you know just by feel. You can get dressed blindfolded and know by the quality of the fabric and the construction of the garment what you are picking up. Paul Fredrick is one of those brands for me. From their shirts to their jackets, Paul Fredrick has always been a dependable go-to whether in my day-to-day or in my dressier moments. They are celebrating that heritage this fall with the release of their new collection, Made in America, in honor of their fortieth anniversary.

To honor our brand’s history, we returned to our roots, crafting garments in American factories. This limited-run collection draws inspiration from the 1920s, when fashion reemerged as a powerful form of self-expression after the First World War. A century later, we are seeing that same appetite for expressive dressing. – Paul Fredrick
