In 1966, Sergio Tacchini, a leading Italian tennis player, set out with an innovative idea to conquer the sport clothing and footwear markets. Tacchini began by supplying clothing for his former team mates with the aim of breaking the traditional taboos and putting colour on to the tennis court.
The 1970’s saw coloured tennis clothing hit Wimbledon running and the phenomenon quickly gathered speed. During this time clever sponsorship placed the brand on the international market with stars such as John McEnroe, Ille Nastase, Pat Cash, Pete Sampras and Gabriela Sabatini all on board.
The mid-eighties saw Sergio Tacchini issue the "Dallas" tracksuit. Simple in design, it went on to become one of the decade's most recognisable items of clothing.
The latest range of Sergio Tacchini sportswear takes inspiration from the vintage tracksuit and puts a modern twist on a classic design!!! Here at Lapel we stock the very best designs by Sergio Tacchini so why not check out our website at www.lapelclothing.co.uk to see for yourself??
