Chic Modern Tennis: Where athletic performance meets modern elegance

With “Chic Modern Tennis,” Kateřina Puchmertlová develops a new vision of tennis fashion in which functionality, femininity, and contemporary elegance merge.

At the heart of the collection lies the idea that athletic performance and sophisticated design need not be mutually exclusive. Inspired by the clean aesthetic and distinctive visual language of tennis, Puchmertlová designs garments that allow for freedom of movement while maintaining an elegant, modern look.

Movement becomes a central element of the design process. The silhouettes are conceived to support the body and respond to the physical demands of the sport without sacrificing sophistication. The result is a form of sportswear that consciously sets itself apart from purely functional clothing.

The designer describes this approach as “chic modern tennis”—a fusion of athletic performance and contemporary fashion. Classic elegance meets innovative production methods and novel material combinations.

The choice of fabrics also reflects this contrast. Functional stretch materials, swimwear fabrics, and knitted jersey ensure comfort and flexibility, while leather details and accessories lend the looks a structured, premium feel.

Technology also plays a key role alongside materials. Traditional leather craftsmanship is combined with 3D printing and digital printing. This creates new possibilities for shapes, surfaces, and details, while simultaneously preserving a connection to artisanal techniques.

“Chic Modern Tennis” thus presents tennis fashion as a modern blend of movement, function, and style—feminine, performance-oriented, and deliberately elegant.
