Tennis by Design

Looking good and swinging good. Next Friday, July 29, Stina Sayre Design is hosting a fashion show and cocktail party to benefit Vineyard Youth Tennis. The event takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Shephard Fine ArtSpace located at 8 Uncas avenue in Oak Bluffs.

Ms. Sayre’s designs feature luxury fabrics such as crisp Swiss cotton poplin, cotton metal-blend, silk, silky rain wear, and athletic fabrics. Her son Raz is one of the many Island youths taking advantage of the free tennis lessons and court time available to all Islanders at Vineyard Youth Tennis. Raz is also a local hero, having saved a fellow windsurfer from possible drowning off the coast of Mexico earlier this winter. Raz may not be a featured model at the event, but we take any excuse to give credit to his selfless act; Raz took himself out of the race to help his competitor.

But back to the event: For full details visit stinasayre.com or vineyardyouthtennis.org. Tickets are $75 in advance or $80 at the door.
