While her tennis no longer makes headlines like it once used to, Venus Williams is still a much sought after athlete and a globally renowned and admired celebrity. And adding to her global celebrity and image is her activewear line, ‘Eleven By Venus Williams’.

While the seven-time Grand Slam champion isn’t the player she was in her heydays but can still spring an odd win like she did in her opening-round clash at this year’s Wimbledon Championships, she seems to be doing better on the business front.

The 41-year-old American has now come out with a new ‘Essential’ collection from her global apparel line and it’s replete with pieces that scores as high on design as they do on comfort and style.
