Just days before taking the court for the US Open Championships, 22 year old tennis star Maria Sharapova has unveiled her Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection of handbags and footwear – at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Fans, tourists, and onlookers burst into cheers as Sharapova was introduced by celebrity MC Quddus on a specially constructed stage where Maria unveiled her new advertising campaign for Cole Haan.
“Everyone loves Maria. It’s great to be working with her and adding a new dimension to Cole Haan’s history,” states Jim Seuss, Chief Executive Officer.
Children from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center’s Junior Tennis Development Program, New York Junior Tennis League, and the City Parks Foundation were thrilled to meet their tennis icon.
Sharapova’s collaboration with Cole Haan began with sketches, mood boards, and inspirations from the tennis star. Maria’s on-the-go, international lifestyle inspired this chic collection. Maria infused aspects of her playful personality into every detail of the line from the polished buckles of the shoes, to the leather wrapped chain straps of the handbags.
“It’s my hope that other young women will embrace the spirit of the collection; it’s fun, chic, fashionable and most importantly, able to take you from day to night,” says Sharapova.
