When models walked down the Fall 2017 runway for the Lacoste Ready-to-Wear show, they were walking over red rock gravel. The rocky backdrop behind them further set the scene for a futuristic world of sci-fi fashion. While this is a theme that has been explored many times over by the fashion industry, this collection brings a newfound relevance and freshness to the idea, as scientists and researchers are bringing us closer each day to unraveling the mysteries of Mars.
Inspiration for the extraterrestrial-inspired clothing collection was gathered from the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow, which manifested in the form of jumpsuits, sporty parkas, iridescent prints and baggy 90s-style silhouettes.
Rather than looking like a far-fetched vision of the future, the Fall Lacoste Ready-to-Wear collection lives up to its name, offering a range of down-to-earth, wearable garments.
