NOVAK DJOKOVIC: THE NEW CROCODILE René Lacoste and Novak Djokovic. Two legends who share the same values of Fair- Play, tenacity and elegance. In 1933 tennis player and inventor René Lacoste, nicknamed the Crocodile for the tenacity he displayed on the court, revolutionized the world of sportswear by creating the LACOSTE L.12.12 Polo shirt. This garment’s unique fabric, the cotton petit piqué, allowed the 1930s tennis players greater freedom of movement. The LACOSTE L12.12 Polo shirt has since become the icon of a brand, symbolizing French elegance and timeless style the world over. Today Novak Djokovic becomes the LACOSTE style ambassador, not only on but also off the tennis court. His relaxed elegance and inventiveness are a perfect match for the French brand’s DNA and its sports-inspired creations. LACOSTE has developed for Novak Djokovic an eponymous clothing line to be worn on the court. These outfits have been specially designed to kit out the champion during the Grand Slam’s tournaments as well as dress him for the other tournaments of the season. The Novak Djokovic collection is a line of performance products that fuse functionality with style. This wardrobe, perfect for the players who, like Novak Djokovic, pay attention to all the details of a game, will be available in LACOSTE boutiques, starting May 2017. All the collection items were engineered from materials handpicked for their quality and performance. Every detail is geared towards comfort: ergonomic stitching prevents chaffing while the cuts bring about ease of movement. Novak Djokovic’s signature is printed on the left sleeve of the polo shirt whose graphics are inspired by the lines of a tennis court. Varying touches of blue, white and red challenge the plain background in order to bring about a relaxed and quintessentially French style. White or black shorts come to complete the silhouette. During the 2017 French Open, Novak Djokovic will make his entrance on the Parisian clay courts, displaying the Crocodile of his new LACOSTE outfits. For its new advertising campaign, the brand imagined a changeover between the two champions, René Lacoste and Novak Djokovic. The film, directed by Julien Pujol, bears witness to the Brand’s defining moment: the invention of the LACOSTE L.12.12 Polo shirt - the day upon which René Lacoste decided to break away from contemporary tennis dress codes by cutting off the sleeves of his shirt in order to allow himself greater freedom of movement. As the new face of the brand, Novak Djokovic is at the heart of the print campaign shot by photographer Jacob Sutton. The visuals combine 1930s black and white with the present-day collections’ colors. A composition that is a testament to the brand’s timelessness..

WRC Case Brief: Lacoste Linked to Factory in China That Reportedly Uses Forced Labor
WRC Case Brief: Lacoste Linked to Factory in China that Reportedly Uses Forced Labor The Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) has determined that the global clothing brand, Lacoste, produced apparel at a factory that has been identified by independent researchers as using forced labor. The factory, Yili Zhuo Wan Garment Manufacturing, is located in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China. This part of the XUAR is home to members of the Kazakh ethnic group, one of the Muslim minority peoples that are targets of the Chinese government’s brutal campaign of repression in the region. The factory makes leather gloves and other products for export. Its address is Home Textile Park, Number 5, Yining County, Yili.1 Lacoste, with $2.2 billion in annual revenue, sells apparel in 120 countries and operates its own retail stores around the world, as well as boutiques within larger department stores.2 Lacoste sponsors a number of leading professional tennis players, including number-one-ranked Novak Djokovic. The brand is owned by the Swiss holding company, Maus Frères. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a US-based research and policy organization which issued a widely-read report last year on forced labor in the XUAR, documented the abuses suffered by a woman who was forced by the Chinese government to work at Yili Zhuo Wan Garment.3 According to CSIS: After subjecting the woman to extra- judicial detention in a series of internment camps, the government, upon releasing her from detention, forced the woman to report for work at Yili Zhuo Wan Garment.

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.
