Tennis legend Serena Williams has launched a vegan fashion line to do her bit for the animals and the planet.
While Williams’ debut collection in 2022 was about women empowerment and individuality, her recent collection—S by Serena Spring 2023—is a tribute to her various travels across the world.
Describing her new line as a “fashion passport,” she told ESSENCE that she was particularly inspired by Africa, and that’s where she got the idea of incorporating giraffe prints in her collection.
The plant-based athlete further explained to the tabloid that she chose to use vegan leather because “I feel like a lot of things are being killed, and we’re not saving the earth
“We can all just do one small thing and help out, so that was also a lot of our inspiration.”
The collection includes dresses, pantsuits, and jumpsuits in bold prints and vibrant colors.
“One of the hottest colors this year on the runway for spring and summer is green,” she told Vogue.
Fans can also lay their hands on a number of cruelty-free leather items, including the Sasha Vegan Leather Blazer and the Sasha Vegan Leather Pant.
“Help in whatever way we can.”
