Lacoste Celebrates Roland Garros

With the iconic tennis tournament, Roland Garros, around the corner, Lacoste releases a capsule collection to celebrate the event.

“Lacoste, a historic partner of the tournament for more than 40 years, brings out a textile line every year in collaboration with Roland Garros. This new co-branded capsule pays tribute to René Lacoste, five times singles and doubles winner of the tournament, and celebrates the timeless elegance of the tennis champions of the 1920s,” explains the label in a statement.

The brand is remaining true to its origins with this collection. Boasting light summery colours as well as firm geometric lines, the Roland Garros Capsule collection is very close to the world of tennis. So close that those clothes are suitable whether you play or watch tennis.

Just like on tennis courts the white lines are very important in this collection and set the tone for the rest of the items.

“The male looks in this collection are refined and chic. The functional details such as the zip flap with a contrasting fused strip or turquoise mesh lining decorate a white polo shirt or contrast with the navy blue of a light windcheater,” adds Lacoste.

On top of these items the label also thought about adding some leather goods to complete the looks. From navy blue cotton canvas backpack with white edging printed with the tournament trophy to pouches Lacoste thought about everything.

On a sporty note, Roland Garros 2016 will take place from May 16 to June 5, 2016 in Paris.
