She's the rare beauty with killer instincts. Maria Sharapova, winner of the 2006 U.S. Open women's crown, 2004 Wimbledon champ and currently ranked no. 2 in women's tennis, has her sights set on Australia in January 2007, and will take center court wearing high-performance high fashion from Nike.
For the 2007 Australian Open, Sharapova launches her new Corset Dress for the first time. Looking "Pretty Natural", Maria continues to look pretty in this stunning new dress that captures her loose and fluid nature on the court and the sunny and laid-back atmosphere of the Australian Open.
Down under, Sharapova will wear the Corset Dress, a combination of high performance and stunning style. To help beat the heat in Melbourne, the Corset Dress utilizes Nike Dri-FIT jersey and Nike Sphere Dry materials for maximum, moisture-wicking comfort.
The Corset Dress features new, innovative embroidery pleating, whereby the upper taffeta fabric is pleated with elastic thread for a more customized fit. The simple-yet-elegant design features Nike Sphere Dry back panels, side pockets and a support bra.
The colors of the dress - Black, White and the soft yellow of Lemon Chiffon - reflect the beauty of the iconic and rare orchid, used throughout the products Sharapova will wear on and off the court in Australia. It is the center point of the visually arresting gold graphic logo, designed to tell the Sharapova story of duality: her natural beauty and youthful innocence, and her intense desire to compete. It features that rarest of flowers, the orchid, a symbol of unique, natural beauty; a Sharapova-inspired four-leaf clover for good luck; and her initials, MS. She's charmed by little details such as these, and Nike reflects them throughout the design of the dress.
