Maria Sharapova Expands Sugarpova Brand

Maria Sharapova unfortunately had to pull out of the U.S. Open due to a recurring shoulder injury, but that hasn't stopped the tennis superstar from keeping busy. Sharapova has expanded her candy brand, Sugarpova, into accessories. Sharapova launched an exclusive collection of jewelry, hair accessories, hats, bags and T-shirts at Henri Bendel, where she has a long standing relationship. "Henri Bendel was one of the very first supporters of Sugarpova; we actually launched the candy there in [Manhattan's] Fifth Avenue flagship exactly one year ago," Sharapova told WWD. "And we were both eager to keep expanding the relationship. The [new collection] will keep the fun, bubbly and sweet vibe going strong."

All of the items range from $22 to $58 and feature the brand's signature lip motif. They are also available on whttp://www.Sugarpova.com.
