LI XIAOFENG PORCELAIN POLO FOR LACOSTE
Oh I do love a work trip, especially in our industry. No sooner had we touched down back in Blighty from a successful (and let’s say very…er…’sociable’) trip to Milan, than Modus was herded onto the early morning Eurostar to Paris for Lacoste! They were celebrating the showcase of their AW10 Holiday Collectors collaboration at the Musée des Arts et Métiers with Beijing-based artist Li Xiaofeng, who creates bespoke pieces of clothing from broken and discarded shards of Chinese Porcelain. Consider it a form of fashion-meets sculpture-meets representing East-meets-West in aesthetic. He has been challenged by Lacoste to create a classic polo in his signature artistic language, from which a print will be made of the resulting porcelain formation, and transferred onto a limited edition range of polo’s, available in the UK from November!
And of course, in true Lacoste style, what better way to celebrate than with a party…
