Lacoste recently unveiled its Fall-Winter 2025 collection at the iconic Philippe Chatrier court at Roland-Garros stadium, transforming the clay tennis court into an intimate gathering space. Creative Director Pelagia Kolotouros presented a sophisticated evolution of the brand’s identity, drawing inspiration from founder René Lacoste’s life beyond sports as an entrepreneur and socialite in the 1930s. The collection pays homage to the founder’s journey from tennis champion to urban sophisticate, merging athletic heritage with contemporary French elegance.
The runway showcased clean, graphic silhouettes that transition seamlessly from sportswear to social occasions. Standout pieces include sensually bias-cut tops, pleated skirts, and double-breasted blazers in vibrant pink mélange that mingle with technical pants and oversized puffers. The iconic Lacoste polo has been reimagined through elongated silhouettes, structured knitwear, and layering pieces, while accessories feature the return of the Lenglen bag in new interpretations inspired by the movement of a pleated tennis skirt. This collection represents Lacoste’s continued ability to balance athletic functionality with refined sophistication for modern lifestyles.
