A pink organza coat with a detachable skirt is a special highlight. It has a two-way separating zipper and a zip-off bottom that enable the consumer to choose between a cropped and long style.

The outfits made their debut at the final Grand Slam tennis tournament in New York, where Karolina Pliskova and Shelby Rogers, two players sponsored by Fila, both wore items from the collection while competing.

The designer added, “Not only is tennis one of my favourite sports but I’ve always loved seeing what the athletes wear on the court. Creating this collection allowed me to infuse that fashion perspective into these very classic silhouettes.”
