\n\t\u201cDesigning Naomi Osaka<\/a>\u2019s upcycled Roland-Garros entrance look has been a true honor,\u201d Germanier said in a statement to WWD. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wanted to celebrate her strength, individuality and athleticism, while ensuring that her first step onto the court felt just as powerful and unforgettable as her game. And since this is her first appearance since the Met Gala<\/a>, we knew we had to make a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Swiss couturier\u2019s design reimagines Osaka\u2019s Nike kits<\/a>, serving as an official partner with the brand since 2019. Germanier\u2019s custom tennis<\/a> kit includes deconstructed variations on the tennis skirt, dress and jacket for new sartorial story. <\/p>\n

\n\tOsaka\u2019s entrance showcased the athlete clad in black, akin to a formal gown with sleeveless design and sparkling details throughout. Beneath the entrance look, Osaka revealed her official on-court kit in a dusty gold tone.<\/p>\n

\n\tDetails for the kit included a structured corset, crafted from her competition garments and designed with snap closures for a versatile look and feel. A cascading pleated skirt was created from the interior layers of her jacket, with each pleat hand-set to achieve movement and added dramatic flair. <\/p>\n

\n\tAtop the structure of the design, each surface was lavished with Germanier\u2019s embellishment techniques, with hundreds of hand-applied crystals creating prismatic light play across the corseted bodice. Beadwork also traced the tennis kits architectural seams.<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite its ornate craftsmanship and intricacies, Osaka\u2019s tennis kit is still functional, transitioning from an entrance look to a competition-ready uniform for the four-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2026 French Open<\/a>, Roland-Garros, kicked off with first round matches on Saturday and concludes on June 7. American Coco Gauff seeks to defend her title as the women\u2019s singles champion, while Jannik Sinner of Italy vies for his first French Open men\u2019s singles title. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Naomi Osaka merged athleticism and haute couture prowess with her custom Kevin Germanier tennis kit for her first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":695207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,5525,253686,24456,82,593],"class_list":["post-695206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-french-open","tag-kevin-germanier","tag-naomi-osaka","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=695206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/695207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=695206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=695206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=695206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
