Lacoste by Pelagia Kolotouros felt a bit like an underdog moment. It was one of those collections that quietly lands but ends up being surprisingly strong. The clothes had a cool confidence to them, both in color and in shape, and the overall vibe leaned toward easy, cool kid dressing rather than something overly polished.

Kolotouros continues to explore Lacoste’s tennis roots, this time looking back to a rain soaked 1923 match played by founder René Lacoste. The setting naturally brought in outerwear and weather ready pieces, which led to a collaboration with the historic technical brand Mackintosh. The capsule included trenches, a full skirt, and a polo, all made in Mackintosh’s durable waterproof fabric. One of the most interesting moments came early in the show with a hybrid piece that combined an oversized track jacket and a pleated tennis skirt into a single garment. The silhouette had a slightly dropped waist that quietly referenced 1920s tennis style.

That sense of retro influence ran through the collection, but it never felt heavy or nostalgic in a forced way. Instead, it was blended into the clothes so naturally that the collection kept its cool factor. Kolotouros balanced those early tennis references with something more personal. Growing up around 1980s sportswear culture in Queens clearly shaped her approach, and that influence came through in the relaxed tracksuits, oversized polos, and roomy outerwear.

There were a lot of smart plays on proportion. Striped piqué polos stretched long, track tops expanded to poncho like shapes, and tailored pieces were paired with sporty layers like zip up hoodies. Materials also helped elevate the collection, especially polos and tracksuits reworked in double face merino wool jersey.

The accessories added personality too. Crocodile handled umbrellas, tennis ball bags, and sou’wester rain hats reinforced the playful sport narrative. She respected the house’s tennis heritage but also pushed it into a more relaxed, street aware direction. The result was a strong, cool collection that made Lacoste feel very current again.
