December 4, 2007 | Filed Under EleVen, Celebrity Brands, Sport Clothing, Celebrity Fashion
International tennis superstar Venus Williams will soon be able to add ’Fashion Designer’ to her long list of accomplishments when she walks across the commencement stage on Thursday, December 13, to receive her associate’s degree in Fashion Design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She has been attending the college since the fall of 1999.
“I love fashion and the idea that I am using my design education to actually create clothing and footwear that reflects my personality and energy both on and off the court,” said Williams of her new line, EleVen.
Andre West, who is chair of the Fashion programs at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale gives praise to Williams’:
“Venus has been a blessing to the department in so many ways, her drive and focus as we know is somewhere in the stratosphere. She has taken that same drive that she shows on the court all the way to the cutting table, sewing machine and computer. We will miss seeing her smiling face in the hallways, the faculty, staff and students have enjoyed having such a mellow unassuming superstar in our presence. We have all given her as much effort as we could to follow her other dream - fashion - and she has given everything and more back to us by her dedication and flair. Not only having great portfolio, but graduating college is a dream come true for Venus.”
