Quite possibly the best-ever combination of swamp fauna, a luxury brand, and a good cause: Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have designed a round of shirts for Lacoste based on their alligator chair. "The stuffed-toy-stuffed chair they designed back in 2003 represents how alligators pile up on mud banks during the dry season in the ~real world~," explains blog Fur Coat, No Knickers, "and this design is obviously what influenced their polo shirts." The polos, which are swarming with little gator decals, were produced with help from a charity that employees seamstresses in a low-income neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. [FCNK]
