Veronica Beard is in a sporty mood.
The ready-to-wear brand has partnered with L’Etoile Sport on a capsule collection of tennis clothing that can be worn both on and off the court.
The five-piece collection features L’Etoile’s performance fabric in exclusive modern stretch lace and will include a zip-front dress, jacket, tank top, culottes and Veronica Beard dickey’s signature, which will be can be worn inside the jacket or on any dickey compatible Veronica Beard blazer, all in white pointelle lace with neon and silver trims.
Tennis, golf and sportswear brand L’Etoile Sport was founded by Yesmin Philip in 2012 because he saw a gap in the market for stylish, high-performance tennis clothing designed for everyday athletes and women of all ages.
Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard, co-founders of Veronica Beard and sisters-in-law, are sports enthusiasts and athletes.
“We love the collab’s classic, feminine silhouettes because you shouldn’t have to give up fashion for fitness. L’Etoile was the perfect partner for us because we could create something very elegant on and off the court,” said Swanson Beard.
“Veronica and I are tennis enthusiasts and love to spend time on the court in the summer months. And when we get off, we want to look just as ready for the next part of our day. Our iconic L’Etoile x Veronica Beard VB Bib Dive Jacket is the perfect piece to take you from the court to the street,” said Miele Beard.
Philip added: “As a female founder with a passion for creating fashionable performance sportswear, I couldn’t imagine a more fitting collaboration than partnering with Veronica Beard. The L’Etoile Sport capsule collection for Veronica Beard embodies the modern versatility and active spirit of both brands.”
