Treating tennis costume as a means to extend players' physical bodies raises questions about the future and the boundaries of sports performance through fashion, design and the practical applications of fabric science technologies.
Advances in fabric science mean it is now possible not just to look at a costume, but to look through it, via biometric capture, to a performance realized within data space.
Developments in sportswear design and fabric science have seen the materials of contemporary tennis costume adopt temperature, sweat and muscle control properties, as well as electronic sensors to capture biometric and biomechanical data from the performance.
As fabric science explores how costume can measure heart rates and respond to temperature, capture the nuanced movement of muscle and also utilize the power of the wearer's own metabolism to generate energy, one has to consider the extent to which our costumes are becoming a second skin.
In the late nineteenth century, women playing tennis wore corsets and long skirts which impeded movement; today, the top players utilize fabric science that enables costume to control and record the temperature, sweat and muscle movement of the performer, whilst also presenting a vehicle to showcase their personality through their aesthetic choices.
