As the grass courts of England come alive with elegance and energy each July, so too did my creative spark ignite after catching a glimpse of Bethenny Frankel and her stylist, Chris Appleton, attending this year’s Wimbledon on TikTok. Bethenny, known as the creator of the Skinny Margarita and a former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, shared snippets from the tournament that felt less like mere social media and more like a masterclass in chic summer styling. Those fleeting videos set off an idea that evolved, in just two whirlwind days, into the largest collection my brand has created to date.

Introducing the Homage to Wimbledon Collection 2025—a celebration of sport, style, and the timeless charm of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament. This collection pays tribute to Wimbledon’s heritage while reimagining its signature aesthetic through bold designs, modern silhouettes, and wearable art.

In just 48 hours, what began as a spark turned into a full-blown creative marathon. I sketched, designed, and produced a remarkable 21 pieces, featuring five cropped pullovers, nine pairs of wide-leg pants, and seven cotton knitted v-neck sweater vests. It was exhilarating, exhausting, and utterly worth it.

Each piece in the collection tells its own story. The cropped pullovers are playful yet polished, perfect for courtside lounging or summer evenings. Featuring clean stripes, whimsical checks, and even a punchy abstract print in pinks and navy, they offer a fresh take on preppy sportswear. The wide-leg pants bring drama and ease together, with strong vertical stripes, crest details, and plenty of movement — echoing the grace of a tennis match while staying grounded in comfort. The cotton knitted vests are perhaps the most nostalgic of all, referencing classic Wimbledon whites and greens with a contemporary twist through vibrant color-blocking, deconstructed plaids, and cheeky nods to traditional patterns.

What makes this collection especially personal is how it captures that magical Wimbledon vibe: refined yet relaxed, steeped in tradition but open to interpretation. Watching Bethenny and Chris glide through the event in their perfectly coordinated looks reminded me why Wimbledon isn’t just about tennis — it’s about how fashion and sport intersect, about how an outfit can make you feel like you belong among the ivy and strawberries & cream.

For anyone who has ever dreamed of strolling the All England Club or simply wants to channel that effortless Wimbledon cool wherever they are, the Homage to Wimbledon Collection is for you. Designed to move as gracefully as a champion on court, these pieces work just as well in your everyday life — whether you’re sipping a cocktail, running errands, or, yes, watching tennis.

As I step back and look at the full collection, I feel immense pride in how this idea blossomed. From inspiration to execution, it’s a reminder that creativity has its own kind of momentum — you just have to say yes when it calls. So here’s to Bethenny, to Wimbledon, and to anyone chasing their next big idea.
