When Sport and Fashion Collide


Long before Andre Agassi caused a stir with his stone-washed denim shorts the clay courts at the French Open, was a sporting catwalk for fashion experimentation.

Is it a coincidence that the tennis stadium located in the chic western district of the French capital has always been a fashion hotspot? Good question.

You can be explore the link between fashion and tennis in an exhibit, called "Game, Set and Fashion" at the French Tennis Federation museum in Paris.

It has more than 60 pieces of clothing on display, some making their debut at the exhibit, along with photos, posters and a special focus on the fashion designers who made tennis a hotspot for style and fashion.
