The new fall collection from Lacoste was inspired by French films from the 1970’s, and that idea stimulated the concept for the show’s decor at the tents. Steering away from a simple and plain design, producer Barbara Fourneau of Bureau Betak used a printed backdrop, silk leaves, and a gold-colored Citroën to give the presentation a little color.
