“Running” by Business Class featuring Natalie Storm & Tifa

Produced and written by Fancy, Natalie Storm, Matt Goias, and Max Glazer

In 1980, during the Golden Age of Tennis, LACOSTE expanded its product offering and released its first original eyewear products. Inspired by the origins of the brand, that first pair of ‘La Lunette LACOSTE’ sunglasses was a pilot-style frame called ‘101’. The LACOSTE 101 featured premium quality materials with unique styling and reflected the brand’s sporty elegance, making it immediately at home both on and off the court just like the iconic 1212 polo. To celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the 101, LACOSTE is releasing a limited edition of 1000 pairs.

Lacoste teamed up with the Campanas brothers to create an amazing, ultra limited edition line for this holiday season.

This Thursday night, we are pleased to be hosting an outdoor exhibition of the fine photography of notorious, Kingston, Jamaica photographer, Peter Dean Rickards.

Rickards’ photos have been featured in shows and media around the world including French Vogue and many others.

Renowned for his powerful imagery of Jamaican life, he also gained a huge amount of attention for being the guy who took the photos of British artist Banksy’s face and sold them to a London tabloid.

This Thursday, Peter will be projecting a selection of his photography onto the wall at Habana Outpost. Come and meet this legendary enfant terrible.
