EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1969, we catch a glimpse of Teddy Tinling's audacious vision for tennis fashion. Known as the esteemed "Mr. Tennis Fashion". Tinling has caused quite a stir with his latest creation, threatening to bring an air of dullness to Wimbledon this year. Gone are the days when tennis queens graced the Centre Court in revealing frilly bottoms or flaunted their legs like they did back in the glamorous '30s. Tinling boldly unveiled his shocking new length for tennis attire on Thursday, leaving spectators and players alike astounded. However, it seems that even he couldn't completely abandon tradition as he compromised by introducing a 20-inch long skirt – certainly not what the first female champions would have worn. One can only imagine how current glamour girls such as Maria Bueno would react to this unconventional design; one thing is certain - they won't be rushing to embrace it anytime soon. The new tennis look presented here appears to lack some of its usual thrills and excitement. This remarkable photograph captures not just a moment in time but also serves as a testament to how fashion evolves and challenges societal norms throughout history. It reminds us that even within sports, where functionality often reigns supreme, creativity finds its way onto center stage – sometimes causing ripples that echo far beyond the boundaries of any court or field.
