A Return to Technical Roots

For her first collection as Lacoste’s Creative Director, Pelagia Kolotouros made a radical choice: partnering with the original technical outerwear brand. The Mackintosh x Lacoste collaboration brings together French sporting elegance and the British pioneer that patented its waterproof fabric in 1822. An unexpected meeting, yet one deeply grounded in a shared respect for historic craftsmanship.

Tennis Silhouettes, Reimagined

The Mackintosh x Lacoste collaboration unfolds through a sharp capsule of around a dozen silhouettes that rework the traditional use of bonded cotton. Handmade in Scotland, where the cotton is bonded and taped using 19th-century techniques, the pieces are full of surprise. While trench coats appear naturally, Mackintosh’s iconic fabric also gives shape to a full skirt and, more boldly still, to a structured reinterpretation of the famous Lacoste polo.

Sportswear Elevated to Luxury

This partnership shows how a sporting heritage can be elevated into a luxury product through the sole strength of material and construction. For concept stores and premium retailers, this capsule is a powerful storytelling tool, blurring the lines between traditional rainwear and directional fashion.

A strategic alliance to be found within Clothette’s outerwear selection.
