Serena Williams Debuts S By Serena Autumn/Winter 2019 Collection At NYFW With KLARNA STYLE360
NEW YORK, NY (September, 10, 2019) – Today Serena Williams, mother, athlete, designer and entrepreneur, debuted her S by Serena Autumn/Winter 2019 collection during NYFW at Klarna STYLE360. Inspired by Williams’ love for fashion and vision to build a global community of dynamic women, the collection features accessible, versatile pieces that amplify our inherent greatness and champions all women to unapologetically #BeSeenBeHeard through their creativity and individuality.
The runway show featured the entire Autumn/Winter2019 collection in a “see now, buy now” format. For a limited 48 hours following the runway show, the entire collection is available for purchase on www.serenawilliams.com. After this limited drop, the collection will return to the site in the Fall.
Drawing inspiration from the era of 1990’s street fashion mixed with sleek modern times, the collection is a celebration of Williams’ hustle, strength, and rise to the top. The collection includes dresses, tops, bottoms, outerwear, and jumpsuits in various animal prints, neons, jewel tones and special occasion sequins. Pieces range from $59 – $229 USD. Select dresses, coats, jumpsuits, leggings and pants will be available in extended GREAT sizing (1x-3x).
“This collection is a celebration for those who break limits, boundaries and tradition,” said Williams. “This is designed for people who turn fear into courage and doubt into confidence — from indomitable mothers, daughters, and sisters to resilient business owners and entrepreneurs, young girls with crazy dreams, and women of color who show no fear in the face of adversity or challenge.”
The event was star studded including Serena’s good friends Lala Anthony and Kim Kardashian were both there to show their support. At the end of the show, Serena emerged from backstage dressed in matching black-and-white attire with her lovable 2-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia. It was beyond ADORABLE!!!
