Lacoste’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection steps into the spotlight with a fresh take on athletic elegance.
Presented at the iconic Hall Eiffel in Lycée Carnot, the show transforms the historic venue into a stylized locker room, complete with steamed glass panels and cascading curtains that echo the rituals of tennis legends.
Creative Director Pelagia Kolotouros draws inspiration from René Lacoste’s formative training years, crafting pieces that reflect movement, spontaneity, and tactile pleasure. The collection plays with sheer textures, mirror-finish leathers, and robe-like trench coats stamped with “Tennis for Everyone.” Each look feels lifted from a moment of transition, garments loosened after a match, silhouettes that breathe with ease.
Materials evoke the locker room in unexpected ways: transparent organza channels shower curtains, plush toweling becomes a statement fabric, and reflective leather adds a polished edge. Tailoring continues from Kolotouros’s debut, now with oversized transparent polos and fluid trousers that nod to vintage sportswear.
The crocodile emblem receives a seasonal update, embroidered to resemble grass tennis courts and infused with French craftsmanship. The Lenglen bag returns with pleated skirt-inspired tipping and handles shaped like racket grips.
Colors lean into nostalgia with vibrant orange, archival blue, taupe, and olive green. Delicate floral embroidery adds a soft accent, celebrating the joy of sport and the founder’s legacy.
Lacoste’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection invites wearers to explore the beauty of sport through texture, silhouette, and storytelling.
