Fed's Fashion Week Celebration

So you hold off a feisty young gun in the U.S. Open final, nabbing your 12th Grand Slam title and a $2.4 million paycheck in the process. How do you celebrate? Well, if you're Roger Federer, you hop in a town car with Anna Wintour and hightail it to a fashion show! That's right, FedEx's victory lap led him right to the front row of Oscar de la Renta's spring show in New York Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours after he closed the door on Novak Djokovic. Sheesh, that Rog sure does love him some fashion!

Tennis Chic on the Catwalks

A quick dispatch from the spring fashion shows in New York. At Michael Kors on Sunday afternoon, right around the time Novak Djokovic was letting his first set point evaporate into thin air, this bold nod to looking chic on the court appeared on the runway. The girl's visor is a little outre, but the overall message is fun. Could this pointed opener have been designed to appease Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who undoubtedly would have preferred to be sitting in Federer's box out in Flushing Meadows rather than on a bench in the fashion show tents?

Tennis' Most Glamorous Fan?

The ever-intriguing world of tennis may get short shrift from most sports pages and the media at large, but the game has one dedicated—and seriously chic—supporter in Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. In the September editions of her women's and men's magazines, tennis makes more than a few appearances. In "Talking Fashion," the chic people of the moment are Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova and...Roger Federer. Then in "People are Talking About," the Serbian marvels Novak Djokovic and Ana Ivanovic (looking their very best) each get a page. In Men's Vogue, Ana scores another page. This comes after last spring's Federer cover, as well as previous feature articles about him as well as James Blake. Racqonteur has spotted Wintour's silver Town Car idling outside Manhattan's Midtown Tennis Club on numerous occasions, and it's fabulous to see that she's channeling her personal passion into some much-needed publicity for the sport.
