my favorite things: tennis fashion talk with mcenroe, serena, and bjorn

ok now the ac post was inspiring…. you guys can go and help yourselves to nike and their virgil abloh shit… printing redundancies on shoes and shirts don’t rock my world and they sure as hell don’t qualify as apparel design… a catsuit and a tutu is the best they can do? yawn!

when it comes to tennis get ups, for me, nothing beats the sergio tacchini and fila whiteline outfits designed for mcenroe and bjorn borg, i would kill right now for those zip ups… anyone know one?

i always loved this sergio tacchinis zipper top part of the outfit for john mcenroe…. this was reissued a few years ago but unfortunately the cut of the sleeves did not match the original

borg and his iconic head band… oi think he was the one to start that silly craze that dragged on all the way to andre agassi and beyond

it was an equal opportunity type of a decade, brands where content in owning one area or another, nike made the shoes, and italian sergio tacchini made the clothes. a balance ecosystem. here, bjorn borg and john mcenroe in nike and diadora shoes but fila and tacchini apparel and dunlop and wilson racquets… good old days… finally no i did not forget richie tenenbaum or the royal tenenbaums. I chose to omit them… lame channeling mister wes – i like your other films much better. by dd
