On Tuesday, Serena Williams debuted her HSN fall 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week, where high-profile fashion editors sat front row including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Harper's Bazaar executive editor Laura Brown, Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Lieve and fashion news director Jane Keltner de Valle, as well as Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, who all came to see the tennis great, who just lost the U.S. Open, showcase her latest fashion creations.
While theoretically everyone was there to see Serena’s collection of
clothes, it was obvious that most showed up to see her—and shower her
with some Big Apple love, after she was defeated at the U.S. Open on Friday.
The
loss prevented her from becoming the first player since 1988 to win the
Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open in the
same season.
Before the show, Williams told USA Today that she was “really, really bummed out” by the loss. Her opponent Roberta Vinci had simply brought her best game.
Since the loss, Williams said she had been working on preparing for
the fashion show. “It’s been keeping me busy and keeping me happy
because I love fashion. Everyone knows I love fashion, so it’s been
really great.”
The clothes that appeared on the runway for her Serena Williams’
Signature Statement Collection HSN line were spins on high fashion looks
styled in ways that were accessible to the average, aspiring
fashionista.
If there was one word that defined the show it would
probably be ‘fringe.’ There were suede fringed jackets, fringed leather
skirts, and the showstopper: a black fringed leather dress.
It was
clear that Williams’ collection was meant to appeal not just to
traditional fashion fans, but her wider base of fans as well.
