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\u2019s new silhouette.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The tennis star will be the face of Lacoste\u2019s new fashion-sport silhouette, launching
