"With this latest phase of our work together, I'm thrilled to share a collection that speaks to the new realities of travel and highlights my personal take on design and functionality, all with the hope that it can get people excited for the future."

While the world remains at-home, the Away x Serena Williams collection serves to satisfy a continued craving for the return of travel; inspiring travelers to dream of visiting the places they love most. To bring this inspiration to life, Away's creative campaign features Serena Williams playfully replicating some of her favorite international destinations, Rome & Paris, in the comfort and safety of her home.
