The story behind the look

Graf’s 1995 Paris outfit placed a loose white polo above a skirt filled with large, pointed flowers. Blue floral panels continued over the shoulders and down the shirt’s sides, connecting the two pieces without turning them into a single dress.

Roland-Garros later singled out this exuberant print in its history of champions’ clothing. The combination remains striking: a familiar sportswear shirt framed by a pattern that would look equally at home on summer fabric.
