Serena said, “I always want to make a statement, both on and off the court."
"One of my dreams has always been to share gorgeous gifts of fashion and luxury with the world. Off the court, my passion is fashion."
"Signature Statement is my own line of accessories and fashion, complete from jewelry to dresses.”

The collection will be officially launched at HSN on April 30th, 2009.
