NEW YORK : Serena Williams was in the middle of settling down for an interview when she was interrupted by a message: "Anna is here."
That would be the Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor who every designer wants front and center at their fashion shows.
The fact that Wintour chose to attend the New York Fashion Week runway debut of Williams, who just won the U.S. Open for the third time, was a sign that Williams, who has made fashion her side gig for a number of years, had most definitely arrived.
"It means a lot ... I mean, she's Anna Wintour at the end of the day, fashion's queen," said a beaming Williams. "I hope she enjoys it." Williams was certainly enjoying the moment.
