Venus Williams is now part of Team Lacoste!

On Monday the tennis player was announced as a global ambassador for the brand, and is said to ’embody the ambitions of the new fashion-sport silhouette.’

‘I am a long-time fan of Lacoste and have always been inspired by the brand’s innovative style, beyond its tennis roots, Venus shared in a statement. 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. I am thrilled to be working alongside her as the face of Lacoste’s new silhouette’.

The seven-time Grand Slam winner will also support the Lacoste Foundation to promote equal opportunities internationally.
