Star tennis player and sister of Serena Williams, Venus Williams, is the new global ambassador for Lacoste.
Venus is a former world number 1 in both singles and doubles and regarded as one of the all-time greats in female tennis. With her new gig, Venus can now add Lacoste global ambassador to her illustrious resume.
As Lacoste tries to venture into sportswear with their latest collection, Venus seems like the perfect fit for this role. Williams said of her new gig:
“I am a long-time fan of Lacoste and have always been inspired by the brand’s innovative style, beyond its tennis roots. Louise Trotter is such a visionary and the work she has done as creative director of the House is forward-thinking, inspired and constantly evolving”
The new Lacoste fashion-sport collection is modeled by Venus herself. Take a look at items from the collection below and shop Lacoste’s new sports collection at lacoste.com.
