Lacoste Holiday Collector Nº8 by Peter Saville
To celebrate its 80th birthday, LACOSTE has given Peter Saville free rein to play with its iconic L.12.12 polo shirt for the brand’s “Holiday Collector series“.
The British art director began by working in music. As co-founder of Factory Records he created a series of iconic record sleeves for Joy Division and New Order between 1979 and 1993.
During this period he also created artwork for Roxy Music, George Michael, Peter Gabriel and Pulp amongst others. He has also worked in fashion with Yohji Yamamoto, Martine Sitbon, Jil Sander, Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy. He was appointed Creative Director of the City of Manchester in 2004, and in 2010 he shook up England when he redesigned the national team’s football kit.
