French designer Catherine Malandrino will design a capsule collection for Lacoste inspired “by the brand’s sport heritage,” according to Women’s Wear Daily.  The “romantic and youthful” capsule collection will hit stores in the Spring of next year.

“As a French woman, I was very honored when they first approached me. Lacoste was so much a part of my childhood, too. It is still the epitome of class and joie de vivre that is linked to Lacoste,” Malandrino told WWD.
