RIZZOLI 15/4/25
The absolute dream project with @rizzolibooks & @markarrigolandscapes with special thanks to M.L. & Caroline Michel @pfdagents .
Magic to read and touch in print after two years of stolen moment student style road tripping, adventuring, searching, listening.& playing. Can’t wait to share more images & stories & just forever grateful to the friends, artists, athletes & community leaders who shared their tennis love stories with me. Just joy. Especially indebted to those who believed in the quest from the beginning when even I didn’t really know what I was doing except for staying true to the community connections and travel dreams the sport I love has gifted me.
Heartful thanks for the early trust & faith @michael.m.lynton , Tim Henman OBE, @lta @billiejeanking Christiane Amanpour, @davidbeckham, Peter Gabriel, @emmaraducanu , Eddie Redmayne, @griffindunne @samtaylorjohnson @blackgirlstennisclub @the_aceclub , Dame Anna Wintour ..
& my very first writer , artist @robertmontgomeryghost who asked me to captain his fantasy Saint Jude’s Lost Cause T.C. (possibly more focussed on style than skill..) when for a brief moment we thought we had all the time in the world.
(We do).
So many more to thank and celebrate soon..
I played my club match in a freakish London hailstorm today and I write with one eye on Indian Wells / tennis paradise .(Go @jackdraper @carlitosalcarazz ✨✨)
Proud to support the LTA Foundation & their mission to open up the sport to all from the grassroots up.
I got lucky. Sport saved & changed my life as a kid.
And I am still learning. I love my life in fashion on both sides of the camera ~but now with an athlete’s
mindset, new boundaries & space around to breathe.
Team spirit, true grit, passion, resilience, opportunity, strength, creativity….It all plays out on court.
And you can take it with you into all kinds of worlds.
Link to preorder in my bio & my stories.
I love the tennis chat so tag your favourite courts, hotels., clubs, players ~ wherever I go, I play.
