Serena Williams is among the most accomplished tennis players in the world. The 38-year-old is a role model for aspiring female tennis players. In 2017, the former world number one won the Australian Open while pregnant. She took a break from the game and gave birth to her daughter Olympia in September. Serena made her comeback to the court in the latter half of the 2018 season. She won her first title since her return at the Auckland Open last month. Off the court, Serena has continued to grow her vast business portfolio.
Serena displays her latest designs at the New York Fashion Week
Last week, the American superstar debuted her latest designs for her S fashion collection at the New York Fashion Week. Serena’s fashion line features clothes designed to make women feel beautiful and comfortable regardless of their body types. Since debuting her collection last September, her Kayla Plaid Blazer dress has been her best seller and it is available in all body types. In a recent interview, Serena says she designed the dress to give women courage and confidence in their bodies. “We can all feel and see how one outfit can look so good on different personalities and body shapes.”
I hope Olympia never doubts herself
Serena has been fortunate to work with some famous designers since she started working in the fashion industry. She looks up to Ruth E. Carter, an accomplished costume designer for many films in Hollywood. Serena also admires Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor in chief, as well as her sister Venus who has her own fashion line. Working with such accomplished female entrepreneurs has inspired Serena to encourage her daughter to follow her dreams. The 38-year-old says that she hopes her daughter can learn from her colleagues in the fashion industry. “I hope that what Olympia takes from these women leaders today is to have confidence and be bold and to never doubt herself.”
After her success in both the tennis and business worlds, Serena will encourage her daughter to dream big and work hard. She says that it is important to encourage women to have high expectations and never doubt themselves. For Serena, her main goal on the court is to tie Margret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles. The former world number attempt to equal the record was unsuccessful at the Australian Open after she lost in the third round to Chinese player Wang Qiang.
