Lacoste showed its Fall/Winter 2018 collection in Paris on February 28, 2018, as part of Paris Fashion Week. The show took place at Lycée Carnot in north Paris and streamed live, with Manila viewers able to watch at 5 PM local time.
Felipe Oliveira Baptista designed Lacoste’s Fall/Winter 2018 collection, which was inspired by golf, including the sport’s place in the brand’s heritage and the 2018 Ryder Cup coming to France. Retro sportswear references from the brand’s 1980s and ’90s archives also shaped it.
The collection included flowing nylon parkas, knit dresses, inside-out blousons with shearling patches, argyle capes and plaid polo shirts extended into picnic dresses. Sweatshirts and jackets carried golf motifs such as putters, drivers, leaves and fir trees, alongside rubber boots, sneakers and baggy denim.
The Fall/Winter 2017 show leaned on aeronautical and space-age themes, with cosmic pieces and extraterrestrial staging, while Fall/Winter 2018 turned to golf, nature and 1980s-style sportswear. The shift moved the brand from futuristic imagery to its sporting heritage, with a more humorous tone.
Lacoste is a French brand founded in 1933 by tennis player René Lacoste, known for its crocodile logo and the piqué polo shirt. Its sportswear roots, in tennis and golf, continue to inform its collections, including the golf-themed Fall/Winter 2018 runway.
