Lacoste taps Sao Paulo based Estudio Campana which is constantly investigating new possibilities in concept and uses for different clashes of materials. For the Holiday collector's Series by Lacoste, the Campanas (designers Fernando and Humberto  Campana) have created an exclusive range of polos. The range includes three different designs for men (and women) at prices ranging from $165 to $7,000.

A Special Edition of 20,000 pieces globally is based on designers famed 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 (see image). The style will be available at Lacoste boutiques, Lacoste.com and the Manhattan unit of Barneys New York for $165.

But also there are two limited editions in the Campanas + Lacoste series. 125 pieces for men, inspired by Anavilhanas, small fluvial islands on the Amazon and these are crafted from various sizes of the iconic Lacoste crocodile logo. Available at Moss stores in New york and Los Angeles for $2,900.

And the super limited edition will come in a run of only 24 pieces worldwide,  made entirely of crocodile logos hand-sewn in a pattern recalling the lace work of Nothern Brazil. These pieces will cost $7,000 and will be made to order. 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.
