Night and Day. Sun and Moon. Snakes and Ladders. So likewise, Coco and Le Croc. They are the two halves of the French couture. Like the half pieces of a split chicken breast. Or like two halves of a face. Coco, she is the top half of the face with all the hair and the eyes. And Le Croc, he is the bottom half with the teeth.
René Lacoste did not start in the fashion world to begin. No no. He play the tennis ball and very well indeed. So well he plays so everyone cries out, “Crocodile! Crocodile!” That is what we cry out France when we like a good sport. The name becomes stuck to René. He shrugs and says, “Okay! Now I am Crocodile. I will show you!” He walks away and comes back with the famous Lacoste shirt and he is now fashion legend of France!
Are you new to putting on the clothing? Come, I will teach simple rules. At night when you go to eat you must wear the Coco. At Day when you play with a ball or perhaps take a walk you must wear the Croc. So easy! Now please put on a pants quickly!
