Scots designer hits back at Maria's tuxedo critics
Scots designer hits back at Maria's tuxedo critics

A SCOTS designer who created tennis star Maria Sharapova's outfit for Wimbledon has hit back at critics.
Colleen Sandieson is a senior designer for sports giants Nike and her clothes have amazed the crowds at the tournament this week.

She fashioned Sharapova's tuxedo-style jacket and sheer top, as well as her controversial shorts.
But when Sharapova crashed out of Wimbledon on Thursday, her opponent revealed her dislike of her outfit had spurred her to victory.

The No3 seed was defeated by fellow Russian Alla Kudryavtseva - whose world ranking is No154. Kudryavtseva said: "It's very pleasant to beat Maria. I don't like her outfit. Can I put it this way? It was one of my motivations to beat her."

But yesterday, Colleen, 45, who was raised in Paisley, hit back.

She said: "I was quite shocked when I heard she had been saying this about the outfit. I didn't think it was very sporting. The outfit is 100 per cent functional for tennis, although it has a glamorous look.

"I shouldn't say too much about it in case it starts trouble.

"Both girls are Russian and there will be a fierce competition there.

"I have seen Kudryavtseva's outfit and without going into it too much, I would describe it as understated."

Yeah, you are very right Colleen, I don't understand why there are people who keeps on criticizing whatever outfit Maria will wear, they should admit that Maria has a great fashion sense, and I think they are just jealous, cause whatever she wears, the crowd goes, woah, she's beautiful. I got really mad at Alla, for she said such things to Maria, and the truth is it's just her luck to defeat Maria, I said it's just her luck because she didn't even won the championships. And who ever criticized Maria's outfit is envious because whatever she wore it always looks amazing and beautiful to her. Good luck Maria I will be expecting great outfit on US Open! Cheers.

I hink that girl was too excited about beating Maria that's why she said that about her outfit, the fact that Kudryavtseva won doesn't mean she is better than Maria, she is just a silly girl, don't worry maria

Es una lastima que María no haya ganado en wumbledon, pero a ella yo y muchos le perdonas todo, or ser tan hermosa y buena tenista.
