As if a cold bottle of Evian water wasn't already the much-needed accessory of choice on a tennis court, it can now be considered an integral part of any well-styled player's athletic wardrobe.
Thanks to a new collaboration with Rothy's, repurposed Evian bottles have been given a second life as chic tennis-inspired essentials including sneakers, visors, duffels, and racket bags. Considering the capsule collection was created from over 70,000 recycled Evian bottles collected from last year's U.S. Open, what better time to debut it than ahead of the 2022 tournament?
To celebrate the launch, Rothy's and Evian partnered with cult magazine and lifestyle brand, Racquet, to host a sporty soiree on the roof of Rockefeller Center and Rockefeller Plaza, where a custom pink tennis court was installed as part of the weekend-long "Racquet House" activation.
Tennis stars including Emma Raducanu, Stan Wawrinka, Tommy Haas, and Eugenie Bouchard worked up a sweat between serving - looks, that is. Emily Ratajkowski was also on hand to join Rothy's founders Roth Martin and Stephen Hawthornthwaite, as were social scene favorites Ivy Getty, Lili Buffett, Jessica Wang, Daphne Groeneveld, and Alexandra Richards.
