Prelude to 'The Championships' at Wimbledon, Maria Sharapova has served up an ace with the Sony Ericsson Maria Sharapova Design Collection. A select audience was privy to the collection, which was showcased in London. The four-year agreement was sealed in January 2008 and the Maria Sharapova Design Collection is the first design collaboration campaign to be announced. "Working on this collection was an opportunity that I could not turn down," said Maria Sharapova at the unveiling. "Sony Ericsson helped me create a collection of mobile phone accessories that I know people will use. And I wanted to add my touch to each item. People want style, fashion and glamour, and with this collection I know that they'll have it.

I am looking forward to using the collection with my Sony Ericsson T303 which is equally as stylish and great to listen to music on when I exercise and when I like to relax after a match."

The Maria Sharapova Design Collection consists of the IDC-31 Courtside Case, the compact IDC-32 Exercise Case, the IDC-33 Party Bag and the IDC-34 Travel Wallet. The Design Collection is inspired by Maria Sharapova's own global lifestyle, and the latest fashion trends.

The Maria Sharapova Design Collection will be available in all markets in the third quarter.
