French premium fashion sports brand LACOSTE will launch its runway show collection, presented in Paris as part of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, starting April 8, 2026 (Wednesday).
The collection was unveiled at the Eiffel Hall within Lycée Carnot in Paris, themed “THE LOCKER ROOM.” Inspired by the space where the euphoria of victory and the quietness of defeat intersect, it reinterprets Lacoste's athletic DNA from a new perspective.
Creative Director Pelagia Kolotouros focused on the inner human aspect beyond the outcome of competition. She expressed the “beauty of imperfection” behind perfection, such as the moment a polo shirt's buttons are undone after a match or the gesture of loosening a tracksuit.
The collection is structured around contrasts: transparency and opacity, construction and fluidity, performance and relaxation. Sheer polo shirts, lightweight nylon, mirror leather, and wet-look materials intertwine, presenting a new balance between sport and elegance.
Furthermore, the brand's iconic polo shirt is reinterpreted in poplin and terry materials, updated with messages like “Tennis for Everyone.” It features designs that elevate heritage into modernity, such as details reminiscent of tennis racket grips and a crocodile logo embroidery inspired by grass courts.
In terms of materials, the lightness of tech silk and nylon merges with the textures of rubberized cotton and terry cloth, proposing new layering that conforms to the body. Fluid and free silhouettes embody contemporary athletic style.
The color palette is based on orange and archive blue, reminiscent of vintage sportswear, along with taupe and olive green, creating a spectrum where nostalgia and sophistication coexist.
This collection proposes a new chapter where Lacoste's heritage and modernity intersect, offering a fusion of everyday elegance and athleticism.
