"I had a really focused mind; I would literally be on the table getting my back worked on looking at different models," she said. Venus has also shown at fashion week. Williams said she took her big sister's advice which was to have fun and "enjoy the moment."
Williams was most proud of her final runway model, who was plus-size. "I felt like our line caters to a lot of women but we don't limit ourselves. We also want that lady who is a little larger to wear clothes and feel great and not be limited to just Lycra," she said. "People should look good at every size and feel good and love who they are.
Williams got wild applause after the show ended, including from good friend Caroline Wozniacki, whom she defeated for her U.S. Open trophy. "I thought it was amazing. I loved the pieces and the leopard print," Wozniacki said.
"She's such a good friend and so supportive and wouldn't miss it," said Williams. Williams said she planned to return the favor and be there for Wozniacki when she runs the New York City marathon in November.
