10 Aug Covergirl Serena Williams is Taking on Fashion
The word triple-threat should have Serena Williams image next to it in the dictionary. The athlete, business mogul and fashion designer aces everything she puts her mind to. Her Serena Williams Signature Statement Collection debuted at Fashion Week last fall and is currently available on HSN. The ready-to-wear collection ranges from $19.95 – $69.95 and includes a host of colorful tops, skirts, dresses and slack.
NY Mag featured Williams as the covergirl on its August 10 issue and spent some time with her on-set of her most recent HSN fashion showing. The busy entrepreneur hasn’t declared retirement from tennis (yay), but is building out the next stage of her professional life for when she is ready to put down the racket.
I’ve loved the Williams Sisters since the first day I picked up a tennis racket. As I was learning to play the game, Venus and Serena were dominating the courts and winning match after match without breaking a sweat. Their style of play made me a fan, but their courage made me a supporter. The way they have dealt with insults and indignities over the years – from the name to the unequal opportunities – is what has made them truly champions. They made the sport better by being a part of it.
Serena may be figuring out her post-tennis move, but professionals everywhere should be taking notes. She (and her sister) are great examples of the old adage: “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” (Ok, but it is also awesome that she won, a lot). I’m looking forward to seeing her bring that style of play to the fashion world.
