Meet Komintern Sect, the Oi trailblazers from France. In 1980, a group of high-school friends fed up with the scene decided to forge their own path. They founded Chaos Production and unleashed their debut album, Les Seigneurs de la guerre, in 1983, followed by Les Uns sans les autres in 1986. At the height of punk’s ideological clashes, they went their separate ways—only to reunite in 2014. Their comeback album dropped in 2016, and they toured across the world. Their final show, “Le Dernier Combat,” rocked Montreuil on 29 November 2024. Frontman Carl Jahier sadly passed away at 64 on 10 May 2025, but Komintern Sect’s raw power still echoes. So,, what's your favourite song of Komintern Sect? Let us know in the comments! 0:50

In the early 20th century, French tennis player René Lacoste, nicknamed "The Crocodile" for his tenacity on the court, revolutionized sportswear. Tired of the uncomfortable and restrictive tennis attire of the time, Lacoste designed a breathable, short-sleeved shirt made of lightweight cotton, adorned with a crocodile emblem – a nod to his own nickname. Introduced in 1926, Lacoste's polo shirt quickly gained popularity among athletes and casual wearers alike for its comfort and style. Its practicality and elegance transcended the tennis courts, becoming a fashion staple around the world. Over the years, Lacoste's brand expanded beyond polo shirts, offering a range of sportswear and accessories while maintaining its signature crocodile logo as a symbol of quality and sophistication. Today, Lacoste stands as a global fashion icon, embodying the spirit of sport and timeless elegance. 0:40

All Buttoned Up Shorts: The history of Lacoste

The boot lace color codes carried weighty messages within the subculture. According to Mary McMican's essay, this phenomenon originated in London, where sturdy Doc Martens served both work and combat purposes. The colours spoke volumes: white denoted white pride, blue protested police brutality, red warned of neo-Nazi leanings, yellow stood strong against racism, purple celebrated gay pride, and green signified neutrality. You might think the boot lace code could come back, but it probably won't. On social media, young people wear boots or Doctor Martens with different laces without knowing or caring about their meanings. It might be the end of the lace code time. 0:43
