Lacoste is a French apparel company founded in 1912 that sells high-end clothing, footwear, perfume, leather goods, watches, eyewear, and most famously, tennis shirts. The company can be recognized by its green nan crocodile logo. Lacoste has the reputation of being culturally preppy, especially in the United States.
René Lacoste was a famous French tennis player who achieved fame in two areas: tennis and fashion. While winning the 1926 U.S. Open championship, Rene Lacoste of France wore something that he himself had created: a white, short-sleeve shirt made exclusively of a light knitted fabric called ‘jersey petit piqué’ that served to wick away moisture due to heat, the very first version of performance clothing in sports. The shirt was a radical departure from tennis fashion of the day, which called for stiff, woven, long-sleeve oxfords. In 1927 during the Davis Cup, the American press nicknamed Lacoste "the Alligator" because of a bet made about an alligator-skin suitcase. With no cognate in his native tongue, the nickname was changed to le crocodile in French. The nickname stuck due to his tenacious behavior on the courts, never giving up his prey. Lacoste’s friend, Robert Georges, drew him a crocodile which Lacoste then embroidered on the blazer he wore on the courts. Source

“Em 1994 iniciou-se a trajetória do Comlexo B, uma camisaria e blusaria em Copacabana, onde a idéia era não confrontar o jeans, mas, oferecer um complemento para ele. Não faziam questão de ser o primeiro, mas de ser uma das primeiras alternativas. Em 1997 participaram da Babilônia Feira Hype e Mercado Mundo Mix, com suas calças xadrezes e camisas estampadas, num look totalmente cafajeste carioca. Em 2000 ganharam o prêmio Novos Designs, evento antecessor do Fashion Rio e logo a seguir, repercussão nacional. Em 2005 chegaram à Europa. A marca propõe um estilo com muito humor e alto astral, para fugir do básico. Esse embate contra a mesmice vem encarnado pela figura do guerreiro São Jorge, ícone da marca. Axé para quem é de Ache, Amém para quem é de Amém, Shalon para quem é de Shalon e Saravá para quem é de Sarava.”
