Izod Lacoste
Izod Lacoste is a brand name of sportswear that was licensed to Izod by Lacoste from 1952-1993. History of the partnership In 1953, David Crystal, the owner of Izod and Haymaker, bought 50% of the rights to market Lacoste in America. The "Izod" and "Haymaker" brands were already established there. "Lacoste" was added to enhance the brands' prestige and introduce the name to American markets.

Labor practices of fast fashion are often exploitative, and due to the gender concentration of the garment industry, women are more vulnerable.
