Major clothing line Lacoste unveiled its latest spring fashion lineup at a runway show that coincides with a major claycourt tennis tournament in the area.

Lacoste conducted its fashion show on Monday at The Riviera Theater in Charleston, West Virginia. The show was initially scheduled to take place on King Street but rainshowers made this impossible.

Modeling the latest outfits include local university students, residents, kids and tennis pros who are participating in this week’s Family Circle Cup – a higher tier women’s tennis tour event. Most of the models walked down the runway with dogs from Pet Helpers.

Slovakian tennis player Dominika Cibulkova dressed up for the occasion as she showed her glamorous side on the catwalk.

The event was well-attended with lots of food and drinks served to the jampacked audience. The attendees were given gift bags plus discount cards which they could use when they purchase Lacoste merchandise.

This memorable party hardly showed any indication that the fashion world was affected by the global financial crisis. It was simply a great occasion!
