Quick update here: I’ve confirmed with a source close to the production that Nike was only responsible for the dress she played in. Her walk on outfit by couturier Robert Wun was handled (and funded) by her personal management team.
The point being that Osaka really takes these elaborate pieces into her own hands and if the other top Nike players—who are often mentioned alongside her as not getting the same treatment— *wanted* to go big like this, they could.
Merci Patrick ❤️ it was such a great experience learning from you. Wishing you nothing but the best. You are one of the coolest people l've ever met and I'm sure I'll see you around 🙏🏾
