Tennis star Venus Williams, a seven-times Grand Slam singles winner, will be relaunching her sports and leisure wear line 'EleVen' at Sony Ericsson Open tennis tournament, which begins in Miami on March 21, 2012.
The label EleVen was originally created by Venus for retailer Steve & Barry's, which went bankrupt in 2008.
The 32-year-old tennis player has a degree in fashion design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
The new EleVen range, inspired by Venus' own attitudes to style, will have a colour-filled athletic range consisting of tops, bottoms, form-fitting dresses and crop-top style brasseries.
The men's range will include shorts and T-shirts, also inspired by Venus' love for art and water colour.
While most of the collection of former world No. 1 tennis player has been made from polyester and spandex jersey, there are also some V-neck T-shirts stitched from 100 percent jersey.
The relaunched EleVen line will be soon available at specialty and department stores throughout the US.
