At Serves by LA, we’re always looking ahead—and right now, the future of American women’s padel looks seriously promising.

A different kind of court culture

There is something about the Miami Open that feels… elevated. Yes, it is one of the biggest tournaments in the world. Yes, the best players are competing at the highest level. But what makes Miami different is the energy around it.

It is where tennis meets lifestyle.

Every March, the desert town of Indian Wells transforms into what tennis insiders lovingly call “Tennis Paradise.” The sun is perfect, the palm trees sway, and somewhere between the practice courts and the VIP boxes, the BNP Paribas Open becomes one of the most unexpectedly stylish stops on the global sports calendar.

Yes, there’s world-class tennis—but just as much attention goes to the outfits in the stands, the tunnel arrivals, and the glamorous entourage that travels with the sport’s biggest stars.

International Women’s Day offers a moment to pause and recognize the women who are shaping industries, redefining leadership, and building brands with vision and purpose.

In fashion especially, women founders are not just creating beautiful clothing. They are building communities, challenging traditional production models, and designing for the realities of modern life.

There was a time when wellness meant restriction.
More rules. More tracking. More pressure. But this season feels different.

Across fashion, fitness and culture, the conversation is shifting from discipline to nourishment. From depletion to restoration. From doing more to supporting yourself better.

Fashion Week used to be about spectacle. Sky-high heels. Street style photographers. Outfits designed to be seen, not lived in.

But something has shifted.

The new fashion conversation is not just about what looks good. It’s about what moves with you. What supports you. What aligns with your lifestyle. And increasingly, what aligns with your values.

Welcome to the era of performance luxury.

Winter in the Hamptons has a rhythm all its own. The crowds thin. The days feel quieter. The pressure to do it all softens. And in that stillness, wellness takes on a slower, more intentional pace.

This season invites us to trade intensity for consistency. To move our bodies with care. To lean into warmth, routine, and spaces that support both strength and rest. Winter wellness is not about pushing harder. It is about serving yourself better.

The athleisure market has entered a new era one defined not only by comfort and performance but by elevated design that transitions seamlessly from workout settings to daily life. This movement, known as studio to street dressing, is reshaping how consumers think about activewear and how brands create for the modern woman.

Consumers now expect their leggings, performance tops, skirts, and layers to deliver more than function. They want clothing that looks polished enough for errands, casual meetings, dinner plans, or travel while still offering the technical qualities needed for movement based activities.
