Lacoste Celebrates French Elegance And Tennis’ Infallible Style And Glamour

No other brand is as synonymous with tennis’ glamour and sporty aesthetic as Lacoste. In celebration of Lacoste’s DNA of modern French style and sporting heritage, the iconic brand hosted an exhibition tennis match and a fashion presentation of Spring Summer 2019 Lacoste Tennis Remix collection at the Rockwell Club Tennis Court, Power Plant Mall Roof Deck in Makati.

One of the highlights during the event was the introduction of the brand’s newest campaign film, Crocodile Inside. Taking to heart Lacoste’s relaxed, crisp and clean, sport-inspired elegance, Rockwell Club’s Tennis Court was transformed into a contemporary urban tennis playground where guests were welcomed by a Tennis Infinity Photo Booth and a VR (virtual reality) station. A-list tennis aficionados Derrick Santos and Thelma San Juan, Bang Pineda and Tin Patrimonio, Ernie Lopez and Christine Sandejas, and Hanky Lee and Ninay Morales played a friendly match of mixed doubles on the clay court. While fashionable spectators Marlon Stockinger, Santino Rosales, Mari Jasmine, Amanda Fernandez, Ida Anduyan, and Miguel Wycoco, all in Lacoste Tennis Remix collection, sipped on cocktails and joined the affair.

Canapés and hors d'oeuvres kept everyone full and energized through the night. Music and beats was courtesy of DJ Samir Ayeb. The exhibition match was capped off with the awarding of winners Hanky Lee and Ninay Morales.
