Apart from being one of the biggest names in the Tennis world, Maria Sharapova has also been one of the most recognized personalities in the fashion world. The former World No. 1, also a model, is highly regarded for keeping her fashion quotient always on point. On-court, as well as off-court. Being a fashionista, Sharapova has also collaborated with a number of designers during her career.

But from where did she get that passion for fashion? It was the 34-year-old’s mother. Recently, Sharapova took part in a Spotify Original Podcast named Sports Business Radio. The podcast was titled, ‘Maria Sharapova – Tennis champion, Entrepreneur and Investor’.

In the 34 min long podcast, Sharapova spoke about a lot of topics ranging from her tennis career to her confection venture ‘Sugarpova’, to her career after tennis and her current financial ventures. However, in the highly engaging conversation, what stood out from all the other topics was Sharapova’s fashion inspiration.

The person behind Sharapova’s passion for fashion

Sharapova was elaborating on her recent collaboration with Deutch designer Irish Van Herpen and Evian when the Podcast host Brian Berger asked her, ‘Where does your passion for fashion come from?’

Just like any other person, Sharapova too didn’t shy away from taking pride, as she instantly credited her mother. The 5-time Grand Slam champion emphasized how her mother didn’t have much to do with fashion but was always aesthetically appealing. “It was my mother. Not that she loved fashion, but her aesthetic was minimal in approach. But it was elegant,” she said.
