Fashion integration in professional tennis

Overview

Professional tennis has seen an increasing integration with high fashion through ceremonial events and runway shows.

Ahead of the ninth annual Laver Cup in London, top players participated in an editorial photoshoot at the Old Royal Naval College. Athletes from Team Europe and Team World wore luxury earth-toned tailoring from brands such as Louis Vuitton and Brunello Cucinelli.

This trend continued with BOSS becoming the Official Ceremony Attire Partner for the Laver Cup, hosting activations at the O2 arena and featuring players in BOSS tailoring. Additionally, during Paris Fashion Week, Lacoste presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection on the Philippe Chatrier court at Roland-Garros, utilizing technical fabrics and design elements intended to evoke the atmosphere of the sport.
