The shop will be anchored by the exclusive AQUA x Venus Williams collaboration; a chic, fun, and sporty line of athletic and ready-to-wear apparel and handbags inspired by Venus's infamous style both on and off the tennis court. The 36-piece collection consists of active sets, including hoodies, joggers, sports bras, skirts, leggings, tennis dresses and rompers. Shoppers can also look for statement pieces for everyday wear, with cashmere cardigans, polos, vests, a maxi dress, and more.
