From concept to completion, KPA partnered with Lacoste’s leadership and global in-house teams to manage and complete this stunning 16,7070 square foot 3-story flagship store on 5th Avenue, in New York City. This flagship, a showcase of Lacoste’s savoir-faire in the United States, is a boldly designed space that plays with the brand’s iconic fashion and sport codes.
The design of the flagship was conceived to celebrate and highlight the brand’s rich heritage - both aesthetic, with giant crocodile sculptures over seven meters long, and technical, through the inventive legacy of René Lacoste. The elegant, minimalist design was conceived to offer an optimal presentation of the collections while creating a warm and welcoming experience for visitors. The store's façade design is an impressive green mirrored cube that reflects the vibrant pulse of the city in Lacoste's colors, and the interplay of textures and materials combining concrete, metal, and wood echoes Lacoste's DNA, rooted in both heritage and modernity.
“We are proud to open this flagship in New York. Lacoste has strong potential in the United States, and we’re pleased to offer new customers the opportunity to discover the brand and experience our savoir-faire in a setting as iconic as the brand itself...The opening of this flagship is part of our ongoing commitment to expanding our presence in the country and gives us the opportunity to showcase our full collections on one of the most prestigious avenues in the U.S. and the world.” - Thierry Guibert, CEO of Lacoste
This collaboration showcases our commitment to working with brands to create exceptional experiences that blend brand heritage with modern design.
