adidas, Stella and Caroline - The Perfect Mix Of Performance, Style and Talent
Caroline Wozniacki Celebrates Her Stella Style
For Caroline Wozniacki, the last few years could hardly have been better - she's continued her dramatic rise in the WTA rankings to No. 1, won a hatful of tournaments, reached the final of the US Tennis Open, and last but certainly not least, she's become the exclusive new face of adidas by Stella McCartney women's tennis apparel.
Though it can't be argued that Maria Kirilenko didn't look fantastic in Stella's tennis clothing creations, she rarely featured in the latter rounds of tournaments, and Stella naturally wanted to maximize public exposure to her creative genius.
Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki proved to be an ideal new choice as she was already an 'adidas girl', she's now vying to become the world's best woman tennis player, and she has a bubbly personality every bit as engaging as her youthful good looks.
Caroline first unveiled the fruits of the new collaboration at the 2009 US Tennis Open and showcased it right through to the final, where she was overpowered by talented comeback queen Kim Clijsters.
By the lack of availability of Caroline's Stella dress at the time, I think that adidas weren't expecting quite this level of achievement so soon!
Stella's adidas Tennis Clothing - Stylish And Elaborate, Yet Breathable And Cool
Caroline's long term deal with adidas by Stella McCartney was exactly what she was looking for, as she's now able to benefit from adidas' renowned cutting edge tennis apparel technology and Stella's superior designer styles.
Her new Australian Open Tennis Dress has fine lace floral decoration incorporated into the 'breathable' and cooling fabrics demanded by the top tennis players, and her Sebellica Tennis Shoes, based on the high performance, legendary Barricade 6, have the lightweight cushioned stability required for playing tennis at the highest level.
These tennis shoes represent the perfect fusion of performance and style and have been manufactured with human and animal welfare as paramount considerations - another bonus.
Caroline's already had the chance to comment on what it feels like to play in her new Stella apparel, and not surprisingly she's very impressed. She said:'It's really feminine. It's really comfortable to play in. I felt a bit like a ballerina. It feels really nice'. This echoes Maria Kirilenko's sentiments when asked what it was like to be dressed by Stella in 2006. She said 'I felt so glamorous'.
The Perfect Accompaniment To Caroline's Stella Tennis Dress
This new sleeveless tennis hoodie in white or tin from adidas and Stella McCartney would make a perfect match for her latest tennis dresses. It makes good sense for purely practical reasons in cooler climates, to keep your muscles warm and supple before the match, but even where there's year 'round warmth, this snug designer hoodie is a must to complete the fashionable ensemble.
Caroline is certainly never without her coverup en route to court, and regularly wins the style competition before she's struck the first ball!
It's a very good time to experience this exclusive hoodie, as it's currently available in all sizes (normally a fleeting situation with Stella tennis wear), so spoil yourself and get the full benefit of Stella style, like Caroline!
The Yonex VCore 100S - Caroline's New Tennis Racquet
Her tennis racquet and main women's tennis bag are now supplied by Yonex, as Caroline signed a new contract in the winter break after her Babolat arrangement expired. Caroline's thinks she's very adaptable and will not suffer the loss in form that happened to Novak Djokovic, when he changed his racquet, (though I bet she wouldn't say no to what happened to Novak's form subsequently!)
It might just be coincidence, but the Yonex tennis racquets seem to be the preferred choice of the most stylish top women players in Caroline's adidas camp. Hard hitting Ana Ivanovic and Maria Kirilenko also prefer this tennis racquet. Yonex have even produced an 'Ivanovic' bag, but I can't see Caroline carrying that one. She'll likely get a bag in her name soon to reward her world number one position.
Caroline also brings the white/clear grey adidas by Stella McCartney Tennis Bag to court to carry her more personal accessories, and to keep her bag style in tune with her Stella tennis clothing.
Caroline hails from the same town as Hans Christian Anderssen - Odense in Denmark. Her story so far has been every bit as fantastical as anything in his fairy tales, and looks set to continue that way: Her fierce determination to succeed, her mature pragmatic approach to life and her tennis, and her competent team around her should ensure more sublime tennis and dreamlike years.
