Los Angeles Sparks rookie, Cameron Brink, said fans are 'interacting more' with WNBA fashion
'Now that people can see more deeply into our lives, they’re interested and interacting more,' she recently told Harper's Bazaar.
'Hopefully, the momentum continues, because the WNBA has so much to offer,' she added.
Her teammate, Dearica Hamby, chimed in, 'The tunnel fits have really been a way for us to express our personalities.'
She went on, 'People see us on the court, and if you don’t know us, then it’s hard to relate. I feel like through style and looks, people can get a sense of who you are a bit more.'
Cunningham has been turning heads since the season kicked off last month, rocking everything from a black mini dress with daring cut-outs, to a casual pair of beige corduroy trousers paired with a white crop top.
