Monica Seles · 1990

A teenage colour shock

Pink and teal geometry from the beginning of a new era.

The story behind the look

Seles’s 1990 Fila outfit interrupted tennis white with pink and teal shapes across a loose short-sleeved top. A pleated skirt kept the lower half crisp and simple: two separate pieces with a distinctly early-1990s graphic language.

That spring she became the youngest French Open singles champion, aged sixteen. The colour and oversized graphics belong to the Fila years that the brand’s own museum remembers as central to her early style.
