The picture of style

"Match point," the new line of French brand Lacoste's 2010 spring and summer collection, is inspired by the works of French photographer and painter Jacques Henri Lartigue. He shot to fame in the 1920s when he photographed many famous sports events and sold his works to sporting magazines, such as La Vie au Grand Air.

Lartigue's black-and-white photos captured a generation whose life was simple, sporty and chic.

Lacoste's creative director Christophe Lemaire has tried to recreate the look, using straight lines and simple colors.
