Roger Federer credited his wife Mirka for turning him onto the fashion scene, revealing that it was because of her inspiration that he became more outgoing and social in his later years.
It is thanks to Mirka that the 20-time Grand Slam champion also got into the practice of going to museums and Visiting new places, which ultimately led him into the fashion world. The former World No. 1 has collaborated with UNIQLO in recent times to launch his own fashion collection, even offering design inputs along the way.
“Travels for sure, My wife, Mirka, is three years older and she was always very elegant and always very into cars, watches, and fashion. Those were her hobbies. And she was always very outgoing, visiting places, and I think she inspired me very much to also go to museums, meet people, be more outgoing, be socially stronger, ” Federer said.
because we started dating when I was 18 years old and we had met at the Sydney Olympics back in 2000. And so I think that’s what got me into the whole fashion world,” he added.
when you go to all these different cities, I’m sorry, you cannot wear jeans and running sneakers and, I dunno, an oversized T-shirt every single day. And then as I was growing into a more successful tennis player, you were doing this red carpet. So you need a suit and you cannot wear the same tie every time,” Federer said.
Speaking of attending red carpets at prominent events like the Oscars, Roger Federer felt that it was a valuable experience for someone like him who did not want to be constrained with just tennis all his life. The 20-time Grand Slam champion did admit that making small talk and going out to such events used to fill him with dread when he was young. But now that he is older, Federer noted that he finds them rather appealing.
i know some players who do hotel, club, hotel, club, room service, watching sports all day, and that’s it. Just staying in the narrow tennis mind is not enough. I feel like going out and meeting people and doing different things to me is very appealing, even though I used to dread red carpets and small talk and all that stuff,” Federer said.
