Sharapova wears the flame-red tennis dress she'll wear during US Open
|
When Sharapova defends her U.S. Open title next week, she'll be wearing tennis dresses decorated with graphic interpretations of the cityscape on the chest.
The designs, created by Nike senior designer Colleen Sandieson, were unveiled Wednesday evening on a rooftop at Rockefeller Center.
Like last year, Sharapova will have one outfit dedicated for day play and another for night matches.
"It's always important to feel comfortable in what you're wearing when you're playing, but in tennis, you can do so many things with your wardrobe," Sharapova said wearing the flame-red dress in a flared shift silhouette that she'll wear at night.
The color is in honor of the Big Apple. "I've worn a red top before but never a red dress, but there is no better place to do it than New York," she told the reporter.
There are more than 600 Swarovski crystals incorporated into the design, adding a little flash to the outfit, but Sharapova said it's simple and classy, which suits her taste. "I don't like things with too much pattern ... things that are tacky."
For the daytime, the look is similar but in black and white — and without the crystals. It has a scoop-back design that facilitates movement, according to Sandieson.
Performance is always the priority, Sandieson said, but she and Sharapova strive for designs that marry function with fashion.
"She has a fantastic game and I have a lot of respect for that but she has a great eye for detail," Sandieson said. "She's got a style that's very natural to her, and she also knows what she likes and doesn't like."
"She wears clothes that a lot of other women would like to own," said Susan Kaufman, editor of People StyleWatch.
Kaufman also notes that today's tennis stars are photographed when they're off the court, too, giving more of a glimpse of their personal style.
Sharapova noted that the U.S. Open, which runs Aug. 27-Sept. 8, coincides with New York Fashion Week and she tries to make it to at least one show.
Once her tennis career is over, she said, fashion is something she'd like to further explore.

下周，美網(wǎng)衛(wèi)冕冠軍莎拉波娃將身著一套胸前帶有都市景觀圖案的網(wǎng)球裙現(xiàn)身美網(wǎng)公開賽賽場。
由耐克公司高級設(shè)計師科林?桑迪森設(shè)計的這套比賽服于本周三晚在洛克菲勒中心樓頂上公布于眾。
與去年一樣，莎拉波娃在白天和晚上比賽時將各穿一套比賽服。
莎拉波娃穿著那件火紅的喇叭式網(wǎng)球裙說：“打球時穿的衣服舒適性很重要，而對網(wǎng)球運動員來說，比賽服的選擇很多。”她將在晚間比賽時穿這套裙裝。
紅色是“大蘋果城”紐約的象征。莎拉波娃在接受記者采訪時說：“我以前穿過紅色的背心打球，但從沒穿過紅裙子，不過，在紐約穿紅裙子是最合適不過的了?！?/font>
這套衣服上鑲有600多顆施華洛世奇水晶，看上去有一點晶光閃閃。但莎娃說，這套裙裝既簡單又時髦，很適合她的口味。她說：“我不喜歡服裝上弄太多俗氣的花樣。”
莎娃白天穿的比賽服的樣式與此類似，但顏色是黑白相間的，而且沒有水晶石。據(jù)桑迪森介紹，這套裙裝是露背設(shè)計，這樣運動起來很方便。
她說，成績永遠都是第一位的，但她和莎娃都想努力做到實用與時尚的統(tǒng)一。
桑迪森說：“她球打得好，我很尊重她，同時，她對服裝方面的細節(jié)也很在行。她的時尚十分自然，她知道自己喜歡什么、不喜歡什么。”
《時尚觀察》編輯蘇珊?考夫曼說：“很多女性都想擁有她所穿的款式的衣服?！?/font>
考夫曼還指出，如今的網(wǎng)壇明星在賽場之外也成為攝影師關(guān)注的焦點，他們的個人風(fēng)尚由此得到更多展現(xiàn)。
莎拉波娃說，美網(wǎng)公開賽將從8月27日持續(xù)至9月8日，紐約時裝周也將在此期間開幕。她說她要去看至少一場時裝秀。
莎娃表示，她的網(wǎng)球生涯結(jié)束后，她將“轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)”時尚領(lǐng)域。
