Venus Williams’ role will be instrumental as the company plans to develop innovative and modern clothing geared toward women.
Venus Williams, who has been a long-time fan of the brand’s creative director Louise Trotter, will have a chance to combine her love for sports with their shared interest in fashion.
“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,” Venus Williams shared, according to Hypebae. “I am thrilled to be working alongside her as the face of Lacoste’s new silhouette.”
Venus Will Support Lacoste Foundation As Lacoste works to place equality at the forefront, Venus Williams will work alongside them to achieve this feat by supporting the Lacoste Foundation.
Created in 2006, the foundation provides skill mentoring, financial, and moral support to create social and professional opportunities for the youths and those with disabilities. Per the company’s website, it has improved the lives of over 100,000 youths and those with disabilities in over 22 countries.
