Serena Williams went among the fashion designers. The 36-year-old, who is currently making her Grand Slam comeback at the French Open in Paris after a 13-month baby break and will meet Julia Görges on Saturday, released her first self-designed collection on Wednesday, ranging from evening gowns to casual wear.

It’s always about the right time in life,” wrote the 23-time major winner in her social media accounts: “I learned this lesson at 18 when I played less tennis because I wanted to go to a fashion school. Some have criticized my decision. But I knew that I would have to find a way to combine my two passions.”

In Paris, the fashion capital of the world, Williams won her first round match against Czech Kristyna Pliskova on Monday. The American, who has always been known for her shrill outfits on the tennis court, wore an extremely eye-catching black full-body suit. However, this is not part of the collection.
