After 20 years in the surf, skate and snowboard business, founder Chip Wilson took the first commercial yoga class offered in Vancouver and found the result exhilarating. The post yoga feeling was so close to surfing and snowboarding that it seemed obvious that yoga was an ideology whose time had come (again).

Founded in 1963 with one women?s apparel store in Columbus, Ohio, Limited Brands is committed to building a family of the world?s best brands to create sustained growth of shareholder value by focusing its time, talent, and capital on the highest return opportunities. Historically, Limited Brands has been viewed as a multi-divisional, largely apparel-based, popular-priced retailer. Ten years ago, that was true. Lingerie, personal care and beauty made up less than 30% of its sales. Today?s reality is very different. Over the past ten years Limited brands has reinvented itself completely, becoming a predominantly a personal care, beauty and lingerie company, with over 70% of its sales coming from those areas, primarily through two great brands, Victoria?s Secret and Bath & Body Works.

Em 1933, René Lacoste e André Gillier, o proprietário e presidente da maior companhia francesa de malhas da época, fundam uma sociedade destinada à exploração comercial da camisa bordada com o logotipo que o campeão tinha criado para o seu uso pessoal sobre os terrenos de tênis, bem como de um certo número de outros modelos de camisas concebidas para o tênis, o golfe e os esportes marítimos como testemunha o primeiro catálogo editado em 1933. Esta camisa constituiu imediatamente uma revolução junto aos jogadores de tênis da época, os quais usavam, nessa altura, durante os encontros, camisas de estilo clássico, em tecido tramado com duas teias, de mangas compridas. A primeira camisa Lacoste era branca, ligeiramente mais curtas que suas contemporâneas, de mangas curtas e com colarinhos de bordos cortados, o tecido, ligeiro e aéreo, era o famoso “jersey de pique miúdo”. As suas qualidades de conforto e de solidez conservaram-se até hoje integralmente e fazem deste produto um exclusivo, diferente e único.

The Years of Cristobal Balenciaga
1918 saw the founding of Cristobal Balenciaga’s first haute couture house in San Sébastian, Spain. Local admiration for his designs was so strong that a second haute couture house was opened in Madrid and a third in Barcelona. In 1937, 10, Avenue George V became the Parisian home of Cristobal Balenciaga’s creative influence. Balenciaga’s Paris flagship store is still located at this address.
Balenciaga soon came to embody Parisian elegance. Cristobal Balenciaga was hailed as ‘The Couturier of Couturiers’ and ‘The Master of us all’’ by designer Christian Dior. In 1946, the House of Balenciaga launched its first perfume, ‘Le Dix’, aptly named after its first atelier, 10, Avenue George V. ‘Le Dix’ attracted the same acclaim as the famous Balenciaga couture pieces, and the perfume soon even rivalled that of Coco Chanel herself. In 1968, Balenciaga closed his couture house, to the deep dismay of his favourite clients. Countess Mona Bismarck lamented the event by locking herself indoors for three days.

Lacoste is a French apparel company founded in 1912 that sells high-end clothing, footwear, perfume, leather goods, watches, eyewear, and most famously, tennis shirts. The company can be recognized by its green nan crocodile logo. Lacoste has the reputation of being culturally preppy, especially in the United States.
René Lacoste was a famous French tennis player who achieved fame in two areas: tennis and fashion. While winning the 1926 U.S. Open championship, Rene Lacoste of France wore something that he himself had created: a white, short-sleeve shirt made exclusively of a light knitted fabric called ‘jersey petit piqué’ that served to wick away moisture due to heat, the very first version of performance clothing in sports. The shirt was a radical departure from tennis fashion of the day, which called for stiff, woven, long-sleeve oxfords. In 1927 during the Davis Cup, the American press nicknamed Lacoste "the Alligator" because of a bet made about an alligator-skin suitcase. With no cognate in his native tongue, the nickname was changed to le crocodile in French. The nickname stuck due to his tenacious behavior on the courts, never giving up his prey. Lacoste’s friend, Robert Georges, drew him a crocodile which Lacoste then embroidered on the blazer he wore on the courts. Source

Adi Dassler seguiu três princípios orientadores em seu trabalho de desenvolviemento, motivado por sua paixão pelo esporte e pela produção de calçados: produzir o melhor calçado para atender às necessidades do esporte, proteger o atleta contra lesões e criar produtos duráveis. Muito cedo, ele começou a criar calçados para diferentes esportes. Associado ao irmão, ainda na década de 20, iniciou artesanalmente, a produção em pequena escala dos calçados Dassler. Em 1932, a primeira recompensa, o atleta alemão Arthur Jonath ganhou a medalha de bronze nos Jogos Olímpicos de 1932 competindo com calçados da dupla. Em 1936 o americano Jesse Owens ganha quatro medalhas de ouro e bate cinco novos recordes mundiais. Em 1948, o irmão decidiu sair da sociedade para fundar a Puma. Neste período, incorpora a inconfundível marca das três listras. Calçou atletas da envergadura de Max Morlock, Wilma Rudolph, Adebe Bikila, Bob Beamon, Franz Beckenbauer e muitos outros em esportes de alta competição. Em 1993, emerge a tendência em direção ao “Originals” da Adidas. A cantora Madonna declara usar roupas esportivas da marca. “Impossible is nothing”
