  • dixon1.jpg
    Tom Dixon deftly combines smart green design with old school chic in his recent contemporary take on Lacoste's iconic polo shirt. Primarily concerned with the ‘provenance and craft’ of manufactured materials, Dixon's visits to Nigeria and India and the unique hand-dyeing techniques he witnessed there reportedly helped inspire his innovation versions of the polo shirt. Eco Polo relies on chemical-free indigo dyes and rougher edges on its sleeves for its hip, slightly ‘distressed’ appeal, whereas his other new polo design: Techno Polo is composed of lurex fibers and cotton amalgamated with high-tech weaving techniques to create a look that’s just right for either breaking out the tennis racket or hitting the a nightclub.
