the modern purist
Introducing the “Modern Purist” collection. Some of my favourite tennis memories from my childhood are set against the backdrop of a grass tennis court. From the irregular bounce to the barely visible lines, grass court tennis exposes even the most polished of players.
I wanted to create a collection for those that love the tradition of the game. Who look forward to the two weeks a year where grass court tennis is the norm and the most modern of players look like the greats of yesterday.
The white tennis clothing paired with the modern twist of pink tennis balls is the Wimbledon of my dreams.
Please enjoy!
Anyone who has played tennis on a grass court knows the perils of the unpredictable bounce.
When you step up to the service line, remembering all those days you should have been practicing your serve and didn’t… so you do the only thing you can…you pray for a very improbable string of aces.
The beautiful International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island weighing in in the background in all of its historical glory.
All white attire, a well manicured grass court and pink tennis balls are the dream combination for a perfect day.
For the tennis lover that values the history and tradition of the game.
And for those that dream of one day attending Wimbledon or want to remember the days they spent at the All England Club.

In any sport, one of the worst phrases your coach can utter is get on the line.
This classic image was taken at the gorgeous Buckskill Country Club in the Hamptons. I stopped by one morning and they were so accommodating and kind, even offering to let me shoot for 20 minutes before their clinics began.
They are one of the few places in the US that offer grass courts to the public. So if you are lucky enough to be in the area, stop by. Just book a court first.
When I was growing up, tennis attire wasn’t fashionable. And it certainly wasn’t cool.
These tennis socks and matching vintage racquets on the grass court make a modern, visual statement that would make any wall in your home “cool”.

When you play doubles, you play tennis and so much more. You also must be a mind reader, a great communicator and sometimes, a therapist. But when it all clicks, playing doubles can be the most fun of all.
Traditional grass tennis court with modern, pink tennis balls from the International Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. One of my very favourite places.
Saturday’s are made for tennis. Whether you love to play early in the morning right after you finish your coffee or later in the day when a win (or a loss) is rewarded with cocktails.
