Inside the gymnasium of Lycée Carnot in Paris, walls and floors covered in white tiles with green stripes set the stage for Lacoste’s Spring/Summer 2026 show. Under the title “The Locker Room”, Pelagia Kolotouros, the brand’s Creative Design Director, reinforced a new era for the French house — one defined by bold colors, transparency, and precise silhouettes.
In this collection, the designer takes us on a direct journey to the heart of sport, infused with unmistakable French elegance. Lacoste presented a nostalgic reinterpretation of vintage sportswear, with a color palette blending vibrant oranges, archival blues, and soft neutrals like taupe and olive green.
Designed by @pelagia.kolotouros, the proposal celebrates René Lacoste’s athletic legacy with a fresh, contemporary energy. Floral embroidery, relaxed silhouettes, and refined details connect the brand’s glorious 1920s heritage with a new vision of functional luxury.
Pelagia Kolotouros redefines Lacoste’s rhythm — a dialogue between sport and sophistication. Her Changing Roomscollection sees the locker room as both a place and a metaphor: transformation, confidence, evolution.
In Paris, athleticism met allure. Slouchy yet sculpted silhouettes, wet-look nylon, and sheer organza captured the post-game energy.
Oversized sweatshirts felt lived-in, while tailored tracksuits in bottle green and soft putty blended comfort and polish. Clay orange, grassy green, and “performance blue” added warmth and vitality.
With couture-level precision applied to technical fabrics, Kolotouros created elegance that moves, breathes, and seduces. A new Lacoste emerges — sensual, strong, and self-assured.
The collection is impeccable and highly recommended for watch enthusiasts, especially those who have been in the industry for a while.
