LONDON: Soon the formal white skirts and tops which are a trademark for tennis, will give way to hep leather jackets, pleated gladiator-style minis and sexy knee-high boots, thanks to a new fashion range launched by tennis star Serena Williams.
According to Hello magazine, the new range which is all set to revamp tennis style, has been launched in collaboration with sportswear giant Nike and Serena has reportedly churned out her own innovative designs, drawings and fabrics for the line.
The line reportedly also includes a special "performance denim" miniskirt as a mark of respect to Andre Agassi, who set the trend for denim shorts in the late 80s.
"We wanted to design a collection that helped me to stay cool but that also looked cool," Serena was quoted as saying. She also admitted that though her trendy designs might rake up some controversies, yet people would accept them.
"I think there will be some people like, 'What is she doing?'", she jokes. "But they know deep down they want it," she added.To promote the line, Serena will reportedly sport her chic designs at the upcoming US open championship.
