Article (news)

<p><a href="https://lacoste.com.ph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Lacoste</strong></a> brings a touch of the French Riviera to Bali with <strong>The French Wave</strong>, a month-long takeover at <strong>The Lawn Canggu</strong>. Set against the backdrop of one of the island’s most iconic beach clubs, the experience blends heritage and leisure, combining French elegance, cinematic nostalgia, and tropical ease. From thoughtfully designed installations to curated moments on the sand, the activation speaks to a new kind of summer—one defined by style, atmosphere, and detail. <strong>METRO</strong> went to Bali to fully experience this first-hand, and it was a summer to remember!</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/1753936493563D3349B09-7977-438E-82B0-27BAC07A270C.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Lacoste transforms The Lawn Canggu in Bali for their month-long summer takeover</span></span></span></div><p>At the center of the space stands a six-meter sculpture of the brand’s iconic crocodile, reimagined entirely in banana leaves. Created by Balinese art collective Make a Scene Bali, the piece bridges local craft and global identity. Both striking and organic, it anchors the venue with a sense of place and purpose.</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/17539365449447AE8F58B-AD65-4C61-AF47-50BD6AC0407A.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">A six-meter Lacoste crocodile made entirely of banana leaves (left) and a vintage-inspired popsicle stand giving out Lacoste crocodile treats (right)</span></span></span></div><p>The launch opened with a nod to Lacoste’s French roots: a green carpet welcome followed by an outdoor screening of Blue Jeans (1958), a New Wave classic by Jacques Rozier, over a stunning Balinese sunset. A floating cinema screen and retro concession stands set the tone for a night that felt as cinematic as it did effortless. French disco played through the evening as the crowd settled in under the stars.</p><p>Among the guests were Filipino style figures <strong>Bela Padilla</strong>, <strong>Max Collins,</strong> <strong>Didi Peters</strong>, and <strong>Patricia Henson</strong>, joining creatives and tastemakers from across Southeast Asia. Dressed in their own takes on sporty, relaxed, and cool Lacoste dressing , the group embodied the event’s mood: elevated, sunlit, and laidback. In conversations throughout the evening, they spoke of Lacoste’s balance of timelessness and modern appeal—a brand that feels familiar but always current.</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/1753936832701F0A9A990-D052-4B05-A16E-3F244F6FA8DE.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Bela Padilla in her sunset-ready Lacoste look</span></span></span></div><p>The Filipino guests shared their connection to Lacoste came through not just in what they wore, but in how the brand fits into their lives. Bela appreciated its enduring appeal: “What I love the most about Lacoste is how classic and clean their pieces are. They don’t really just conform to what’s on trend right now, and I like that.”</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/17539368753822051588C-B151-43D2-9067-DA166BD4D134.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Patricia Henson and Didi Peters went the sporty route at the opening event</span></span></span></div><p><strong>Patricia Henson</strong> linked it back to the lifestyle she shares with partner Didi: “We love playing tennis, we love playing golf, and we love being outdoors. So this is just the perfect ensemble for us and the brand.” Didi, known for his laidback personal style loves the brand’s heritage and wore what he called his favorite Lacoste piece to date—an oversized shirt from the Runway collection, printed with a tennis court graphic that playfully nodded to the brand’s sporting heritage.</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/175393692106121D36CE5-6974-4EBB-A7AB-D56F2E2BCDD2.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Max Collin’s calls her look the perfect day-to-night Lacoste ensemble</span></span></span></div><p><strong>Max Collins</strong> echoed the idea of understated style, saying, “All their looks look polished. They’re so casual but always put together.” At the event, she wore a chic pair of Lacoste satin joggers and a tank top, which she refers to as the perfect day-to-night outfit.</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/1753937042983B04A6BCF-A36C-4CC8-BC04-27B5D3C19CC3.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Sisters Eliza and Agnes Rahajeng (left) and Eykha Farhana in the Lacoste picks for the event</span></span></span></div><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/1753936737681571F609E-597C-47F3-8DB6-38143F9BE539.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Glenn Yong from Singapore (left) and Ky Nguyen from Vietnam (right) as guests at the opening of the Lacoste “The French Wave” takeover</span></span></span>Beyond the opening night, The French Wave unfolds across The Lawn in quiet but considered ways. Lacoste-branded sunbeds and parasols line the beach. Beach paddle courts invite friendly competition. And every Friday, the Croc Pop cart rolls out—serving complimentary crocodile-shaped popsicles in a playful nod to the brand’s logo.</div><div><br/></div><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/1753937234204E69562AA-AA9F-4DAF-891A-859EA50C721B.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Lacoste is at the The Lawn Canggu for the rest of the Balinese summer</span></span></span></div><p>The Lawn itself feels like a fitting partner. Once a casual margarita van on the sand, it has evolved into a destination for curated music, elevated food, and globally minded experiences. The Lacoste activation builds on this foundation, delivering a lifestyle moment that feels equally local and global</p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Lacoste&#x27;s The French Wave</strong> runs until<strong> August 22</strong>, inviting guests to slow down, dress up, and lean into a summer that’s both nostalgic and new. In a setting where nothing feels overstated but everything is intentional, Lacoste proves that quiet luxury lives just as easily on the beachside, over sunset, right in Bali. </p><div><br/></div><div><em>Visit </em><a href="https://lacoste.com.ph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>lacoste.com.ph</em></a><em> and follow Lacoste on Facebook and Instagram for more information and updates</em></div><div><br/></div><div><em>Photos courtesy of <strong>Lacoste</strong></em></div>
