"This is when Nike was introduced. I think of all the outfits I wear and when they say, 'What is your favourite?' This one is always top three," Williams says, explaining that her transition from Puma to Nike involved adding more oomph to her wardrobe.
The pleated denim skirt was inspired by Andre Agassi competing in Nike's jorts in 1988. While it was crafted from denim, it was lightweight enough to play in, and the boots were zip-off. "When this outfit debuted, I was sealed as a fashion icon in tennis and since that day, everyone is always looking for, 'OK, what is Serena going to wear on the court?'" she said.
