​Lacoste looks to the mountains, not for performance, but for posture.

The Olympic Heritage Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956 capsule revisits Alpine style through restraint rather than nostalgia. Seventy years after Cortina hosted the Winter Games, the collection reframes mid-century winter codes for life beyond the slopes — the moments between movement and rest.

This is clothing designed for altitude without urgency. For hotel lounges, late afternoons, and quiet winter rituals.

Archival references are translated with discipline. Merino wool knits sit close and controlled. Quilted jackets nod to vintage outerwear without exaggeration. Polo shirts and sweatshirts feature a reworked Olympic emblem, present but never loud. Tailored trousers ground the collection, keeping it composed.

Colour remains considered. Signature Olympic blue appears as a linking thread rather than a statement, connecting past and present with ease.

Accessories — gloves, scarves, hats — complete the wardrobe, treated as functional elements rather than afterthoughts.

As an official licensee of the International Olympic Committee, Lacoste approaches Olympic heritage with care. This is not revival, but interpretation.

​Launching December 2025 in select European boutiques and online, the capsule is supported by a cinematic campaign that frames Alpine life as atmosphere, not spectacle.
