Venus Williams became the first of the Williams sisters to launch an eyewear collection as her company EleVen has teamed up with Look Optic to create a collection that will be available from August 18. As we know, both Venus and Serena Williams are fashion brand owners, so why not let’s compare them.
After all, the competition on the tennis court was fierce between them. In this sense, although the S by Serena brand by Serena Williams has more prominence given the greater number of followers of the tennis icon, EleVen by Venus has won the glasses race because S by Serena has not yet announced an eyewear collection.
“Partnering with LOOK OPTIC and working with their team has been a great collaborative experience. They truly understand EleVen’s commitment to creating products that allow you to look and feel your best. With any product we design, we want to make sure we’re offering the best for our consumers – this capsule is no exception, and the final product is something I’m excited to not only use, but to see you guys too,” said Venus Williams.
According to the official press release, “LOOK OPTIC’s first metal frame, “Muse”, has been designed with attention to detail and a dedication to versatility. The unique half-rim frame design was born to stand out, and by adding a tinted lens to the mix, consumers have a modern classic with a touch of luxury.
The frames themselves are high quality yet super lightweight, designed with the same TR-90 material used to make sports glasses.
Roddick opens up on Serena
Andy Roddick said that he hopes Serena Williams can put on a good show at the US Open.
“Yea well, first, I am thankful to her for announcing it ahead of time, and givine us a chance to celebrate her career,” Roddick said. “Listen, we’ve all done good things. we’ve all done bad things, we’ve behaved well, we’ve behaved badly.
But in the aggregate, you know, coming from Compton, winning 23 Slams, just how dynamic she is, what a competitor she is, I am so glad that we all can participate in the drama of each and every match potentially being her last.
I hope that, with the circus that’s going to go on, because I haven’t talked less about the people that might actually win the tournament than I have this year,” Roddick added. “It’s the Serena show, it’s going to be the Serena show, and rightfully so as long as she is in the tournament.
I hope that she can give us another thrill, I really do. I don’t know that her form coming in has lent itself to having super high expectations but, listen, I’ve bet against Serena on shows before and looked like a dummy before. So, I hope I look like a dummy again.”
