Are sport and fashion closer than ever?
How do sport and fashion influence each other?
Back in January, Naomi Osaka turned heads at tennis's Australian Open when she took to the court for her first-round match wearing a long, flowing outfit - accompanied by a custom hat and parasol - inspired by reading her daughter a story about jellyfish. Created with sports brand Nike and designer Robert Wun, it further cemented four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka's reputation as one of sport's most fashion-conscious stars.
Earlier this year, More than the Score's Sophia Hartley spoke to two industry experts about how sport and fashion influence each other, and whether they're becoming even more closely linked.
Sheena Butler-Young is a senior correspondent for fashion industry news site The Business of Fashion. She believes the two industries have never been more aligned.
Melissa Anglesea is the creative director of Suzi Wong, the British sportswear company who've created custom outfits for many of boxing's biggest names, including Tyson Fury and Amir Khan. She explains how the creative process works when collaborating with the world's best fighters.
