The line, called Aneres, which is "Serena" spelled backward, consists of 41 different costumes mostly in purple and green, which Venus modeled.

"I'm excited about it, and I'm working with Nike right now, so I'm actually designing my own new line that's coming out in January, so I'm doing two design jobs," Serena told AFP.

"I love design and I have some much time to do it."

Serena said of Venus, "She's always my best model, she's a great model, she always looks good."

However, Venus was not tempted to model full-time.

"I mean, it was fun tonight, I'll do it again for Serena," she said.

"Whatever for my sister, she wanted me to be in the show so I'm in the show."

Venus said her mind was on the Australian Open in January.

"Next year is starting already and I have a really big event coming up in four weeks," Venus said. "I'm getting ready for that right now."
