Fans of the tenniswear turned prep-school uniform brand will get what they want and expect from this collection, which included polo necks, trenches, stripes, handkerchief skirts, checks, white oxfords, and sneakers. The tag line ‘René did it first’ was spelled out on Sam Rollinson’s wool polo in a 1970s typeface, a reference to René Lacoste, inventor of 20th century sport mod chic, but also a possible barb at Nike, Lululemon, and others who are trying to takeover the sport casual look with Lycra and glo-mesh.
