The order of large reptiles, called Crocodilia or Crocodylia, appeared in the late Cretaceous Period, which is about 84 million years ago after the Jurassic period. The alligator, crocodile, gharial or Indian gavial and caiman families are part of the crocodilian group of species. These reptiles are known to be monstrous and ferocious especially its teeth, jaws and predatory skills.

As fierce as a crocodilian, Rene Lacoste was nicknamed “the Alligator” by the American press initially due to an alligator skin suitcase bet with the Captain of the French Davis Cup back in 1927. But more importantly, the public recognized how Rene Lacoste always displayed his tenacity on the tennis courts. Frenchman Rene Lacoste was among “The Musketeers” who stole the Davis Cup away from the Americans in 1927. Among his many achievements include three French Open victories (1925, 1927 and 1929), two Wimbledon championships (1925 and 1928) and two U.S. Open titles (1926 and 1927).

In 1933, together with Andre Gillier, Rene Lacoste founded La Chemise Lacoste producing sportswear tennis shirts with the crocodile logo on the chest. In 1963, Rene’s son Bernard Lacoste took over and expanded the company internationally including the United States. The Lacoste brand exploded into fame in the 1970-1980s as it became one of the essential preppy wardrobes to covet. In this period up until 1993, Izod and Lacoste collaborated together to produce the Izod Lacoste apparel brand. Izod was then sold to Van Heusen.

With Lacoste’s popularity surging through the times, the company has also encountered disputes and guerilla competition with its image and branding. Hong Kong apparel brand Crocodile Garments had troubles with the crocodile logo. The infamous and satirical Croc O’Shirt shook up the fad. Le Tigre Clothing sprung up to compete with Lacoste in the U.S. market.

Today, Lacoste operates in numerous boutiques and department stores worldwide. In 2008, the Lacoste brand celebrated its 75th anniversary with Christopher Chenut as CEO and Michel Lacoste as President.

The All-Seeing Eye, composed of a single human eye with beams of light, is a universal symbol of the Supreme Being’s protection and guidance. On the other hand, the Evil Eye is a look causing injury or bad luck on the person at whom it is directed. It is also considered a sickness transmitted unintentionally or intentionally by someone who is jealous or envious.

In many cultures, regions and eras where the Evil Eye belief occurs, the All-Seeing Eye, commonly in a reflective eye charm form, is one of many apotropaic talismans used to ward off this type of danger or evil. In Turkish culture, the Nazar (Nazar Boncugu or Nazar Boncuk or evil eye stone) is a protective amulet against the Evil Eye. The talisman is usually made of colored glass with concentric circles or droplet shapes. The color spread from the outside to the center shows dark blue or black then white then light blue or yellow and finally dark blue at the center. The blue glass eye charm mirrors back the blue of the evil eye and confounds its influence.

The Nazar is utilized as a fashionable avatar by Mavi Jeans. Founded in Istanbul, Turkey in 1991, Mavi Jeans is its nation’s first fashion brand to hit international fame. Mavi Jeans is sold in over 50 countries worldwide. The designer denim jeans brand is known for its fashion forward styles and exotic Mediterranean feel, aptly coined “Maviterranean” by fashionistas. Together with designer Rifat Ozbek, Mavi introduced a special line of organic denim with a Mediterranean influence. Mavi, which means blue in Turkish, is also recognized for its great quality and fit. In 2006, Time Magazine included Mavi Jeans in the top 16 best jeans brand in the world.

What is William Rast? Who is William Rast? William Rast is a clothing company in Los Angeles, California founded in 2006 by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala. William Rast is a brand of designer denim and premium jeans. But where did the name come from? William Rast is actually a moniker combination of Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala’s grandfather’s last names.

William Rast‘s trademark symbol is a check mark with a slash across that resembles a stylish “W”. The signature stitch varies in design and usually shows a lot of detailed embroidery on the back pockets.

Most recently, William Rast‘s ad campaign presents a series of web shorts and video trailers with Justin Timberlake, starring as William Rast, and supermodel Erin Wasson. The theme is a tongue-in-cheek “Natural Born Killers” escape from authority with a fashionable touch.

This may well be the jeans that launched a thousand ships. In light of literary pieces from satirist Lucian’s Dialogues of the Dead to Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus in reference to Helen of Troy, Nautica‘s essence reflects the power of stylistic influence from oceanic adventures and seafaring lifestyles.

Nautica‘s namesake came from the Latin word “Nauticus”, which means ship. The spinnaker logo complemented this concept as a symbol of adventure, action and classicism. Founded in 1983 by David Chu and eventually purchased by VF Corporation in 2003, the clothing company evolved from a men’s outerwear collection to a global lifestyle brand expanding to women’s and children’s apparel as well as accessories and home collection. They have the classic Nautica jeans and Nautica Jeans Co. N-Series.
