Tennis star Maria Sharapova has a new partner who indulges her favorite passion — fashion.

Sharapova has become the face of the new collection Cole Haan Sporting, which launches in spring 2009, and in future seasons plans to be involved in designing the collection.

“My designs will be next fall, so I’m very excited,” Sharapova, who is taking a break from tennis to recover from a shoulder injury. “Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.”

”It’s pieces that really represent my lifestyle and the lifestyle of a New Yorker — a busy life,” said the 2006 U.S. Open champion, who earlier on Monday graced the front row of designer Peter Som’s show at New York Fashion Week, along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

U.S. designer Tommy Hilfiger was also pushing a new product — a television show called “Ironic, Iconic America” based on a coffee table book of the same name and designed to show off American pop culture.

Hilfiger invited journalists to a preview of his spring/summer 2009 men’s and women’s collections at studios in Manhattan. While he spoke briefly about his collection, which will be shown on the catwalk on Thursday, he did not have any pieces on hand to display and instead screened a trailer for his new TV show.

“I’m spending a lot of time overseas and coming to the realization that we’re (the United States) really not liked,” he said. “We may be making mistakes politically but we’re still a great country.”

Do you think the United States has a bad image overseas?

Later on Monday money-conscious fashionistas will be in heaven at “The Budget Fashionista” 5th anniversary party, where designer clothes are sold for less, benefiting Housing Works, the nation’s largest community-based AIDS service organization.

Sharapova And Cole Haan Hit the Court

NEW YORK — Cole Haan has paired with tennis star Maria Sharapova for some doubles.

Cole Haan, a subsidiary of Portland, Ore.-based Nike Inc., has signed Sharapova as the lead collaborator and face of Cole Haan Sporting, a collection of men’s and women’s sport-inspired fashion footwear and accessories that will launch for spring ’09.

The inaugural collection will include day and night looks that will draw inspiration from boating, tennis, track and golf. Women’s footwear styles will include wedges, flats and sandals, with boat shoes and laceups available for men.

The footwear, which will be priced from $115 to $200, will incorporate Nike technologies including Nike Air and the Flywire construction that debuted in Beijing for the Olympic Games. The collection will be available at Cole Haan boutiques globally, as well as top-tier department store accounts and at www.Colehaan.com.

"Maria Sharapova embodies the blend of fashion and sport that makes Cole Haan Sporting unique," CEO James Seuss said in a statement. "We created this collection as the foundation to a dynamic lifestyle — weaving Cole Haan's history of craftsmanship with Nike's tradition of high-performance innovation."

Sharapova, a triple Grand Slam winner, will begin as a collaborator on the project for fall ’09.

"Cole Haan Sporting proves that fashion and technology can work together to change the way women think about and wear sport-inspired product," Sharapova said in the statement. “I look forward to working with Cole Haan to bring new innovations to this leading fashion brand with such a rich history.”
