Plastic Polo

Posted on December 1, 2007, 12:34 am by Calvin

Industrial designer Michael Young has launched Plastic Polo, a range of collectible polo shirts for fashion brand Lacoste.




The shirts feature an applied plastic crocodile-skin pattern, referencing Lacoste’s crocodile logo.
               


Plastic has always been a favorite material of Young, and for LACOSTE he wanted to experiment with combining plastics and fabrics to create a fresh, futuristic polo that reflects the heritage of the brand. "Years ago I discovered these colourful gardening gloves in Japan that had a latex coating and started collecting them, but until now I never found any use for them," Young explains. "When I began working on the LACOSTE project, I knew I had found my chance to explore this technique." And thus the PLASTIC POLO was born.
               



Young has also designed a super limited edition called the PLASTIC POLO +, where the croc skin print is covered with a metallic leaf film and pressed with a hot iron, leaving a distressed, vintage feel to the skin. The PLASTIC POLO+ is available for men and women in a limited edition of 1000 each in two colour combinations: silver on black and gold on white. It comes packaged in a re-sealable metallic black plastic tray and will be available from October at multibrand shops such as Colette in Paris, Dover Street Market in London and Isetan in Tokyo.
