Set in a conceptual locker room, this is Lacoste at its most thoughtful and dynamic: a tribute to founder Rene Lacoste&#x27;s early years of training, before victory, before the spotlight. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760273228630KEY SHOT.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Inside the Lacoste Spring/Summer 2026 show at the Hall Eiffel </span></span></span></div><div><strong>Shifting the Focus from Competition to Creation</strong></div><p>Since stepping into the creative helm, Pelagia has been steadily redefining Lacoste&#x27;s approach to fashion.
