‘People Don’t Realize How Important Fashion Is in Life’ – Venus Williams’ Powerful Statements After Attending Virgil Abloh’s Last Fashion Show in Paris

7-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams is undoubtedly an incredible player on the tennis court. However, she’s also pretty fashionable both on the tennis court and outside of it. The former World no.1 often wears some stunning outfits off the court and fans love her for it. On the court also, she wore some colorful outfits in the past.

Recently, Venus visited a fashion show in Paris to show her support for the late Virgil Abloh, a fashion designer for Louis Vuitton. Abloh was a renowned American fashion designer, who unfortunately passed away last November. Louis Vuitton organized this fashion show, honoring the great man.

In the past, Venus Williams showed that she was a big fan of Abloh through her various social media posts. So, no way, she was going to miss the last fashion show of the late Virgil Abloh. After witnessing the incredible fashion show, Venus was completely mesmerized. 

“You just have to wonder what else Virgil would have dreamed of and how much further he would have pushed fashion and people don’t realize how important fashion is in life. It really affects the world. It affects everything. So, it is a beautiful art form in which we get to express ourselves (or not) as much as we want or don’t,” Venus said.

Venus also felt a little bit of sadness after the end of the show. She and her sister, Isha Price, were talking to each other about the various aspects of the show. Venus also wished that Loise Vuitton would keep all the clothing collections designed by the great man.

“I was so happy but at the end I was sad and then the song, I think, was just so, like, emotional. I just wish they would just keep with those next collections. Maybe they’ll (Louis Vuitton) like release that and you know, at least to see what he was thinking, but I guess we got to see it. It was so moving. I was so inspired. I was like, okay, I have to be better,” Venus further said. 

Venus’ own brand

Venus Williams has her own brand of women’s clothing, named EleVen. During matches, she often wears outfits sponsored by EleVen. Apart from EleVen, she’s also partnered with Ralph Lauren.
