Stitched like the Eiffel

Fine architectural lines above a floating double skirt.

The story behind the look

Fine yellow lines cross the close-fitting pale bodice above a low-waisted, two-layer skirt. The lighter upper layer floats away from the more opaque hem beneath.

Nike based the stitching on the Eiffel Tower. Contemporary reporting also describes a diamond-shaped back opening and a skirt combining jersey and mesh. Sharapova wore the design at Roland-Garros in 2011.
