Lacoste Takes Over Selfridges for a Summer of Tennis

YELLOW TURNS GREEN: This summer Lacoste‘s green hue is taking over Selfridges.

The French luxury sports brand will place itself on the second floor atrium and transform the Alto by San Carlo rooftop restaurant and terrace into an immersive space called Le Club Lacoste.

“We have decided to associate our iconic brand with the power of Selfridges, repeatedly recognized as the best department store in the world. We share a strong affinity for creativity and innovation,” said Catherine Spindler, deputy chief executive officer of Lacoste.

Upstairs on the terrace, a special drinks menu for the restaurant has been designed, taking its inspiration from tennis with cocktails taking on names such as Rene, Cucumber Deuce and Match Point Spritz.
