"A lewk": Texas' Sydney Carter reacts to Chiney Ogwumike donning red co-ord set from her clothing collab
Former NCAA champion and Texas' director of player development Sydney Carter got a surprise on Tuesday watching Chiney Ogwumike on ESPN. The two-time WNBA All-Star was beaming with holiday spirits, donning a red co-ord set that stemmed from Carter's collaboration with Olarsgrace.
Carter took to her Instagram story to react to Ogwumike's fit choice and share the look with her followers.
"A lewk, @chiney in the Chelsea Set!! @olarsgrace," Carter wrote while reposting Chiney Ogwumike post.
Named "Chelsea Blazer" and "Chelsea Skirt" on the Olarsgrace website, the tweed co-ord set is adorned with woven shimmers and accentuated with two gold buttons.
The ensemble is part of the Olarsgrace x Sydney Carter line, which features 10 different products. Its concepts revolve around the theme 'Fashion Meets the Court,' fusing sports and fashion with a target to empower women in sports, corporate and business.
Carter regularly appears courtside in one of her collaborative product lines, spearheading the marketing and promotion through her everyday ventures.
Sydney Carter wants to own an affordable fashion line
Sydney Carter had cultivated a reputation of being a fashion savant, known for her bold and unique choices. As she grips on the role of director of player development for Texas, Carter is also eyeing her dream of owning a fashion line. She reflected on it during an interview with xoNECOLE in July.
"I want to have my own fashion line one day," she said. "I want to have my own suit line that's affordable for a lot of coaches that are inspired by my looks, that maybe can't afford some of the things that I wear. I want a very affordable business wear line."
"I want to have my own line that kind of touches everything casual, work out. There's so many things that I want to do because clothing and looking my best is obviously a passion of mine as well. So yeah, I believe I'm gonna have it because I tell myself I'm gonna have it."
Sydney Carter played for Texas A&M from 2008 to 2012. As the team captain and defensive anchor, she led the program to an NCAA championship in her junior year. She was picked 27th overall in the 2012 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky before she moved to Latvia to continue her professional dreams in 2016.
