Lacoste's somber spring
If there was a chill in the air at Lincoln Center on Saturday morning, it had nothing to do with the air conditioning. Lacoste's Spring/Summer 2011 show may have featured an occasion flash of yellow or red, but this was a collection that looked like more like early fall than spring. Starting with a round of black that leaned heavily toward shirt dresses and rugby dresses, the collection cleverly straddled the line between sportswear and evening wear. But the somber tones and the playful silhouettes played off one another with unexpected grace. And there was unexpected sexiness in the form of jumper shorts that offered a glimpse of skin.
