When the New York Liberty won the WNBA Finals last year, power forward Breanna Stewart wasn’t sure anyone would come to the “Canyon of Heroes” ticker tape parade. But as Stewart’s float turned a corner, thousands of cheering fans came into full view—to no one but Stewart’s surprise. The fandom around the WNBA, and the Liberty in particular, has reached a fever pitch.
In today’s episode of The Run Through, Vogue’s digital style director, Leah Faye Cooper, and fashion writer Hannah Jackson talk to Stewart, a.k.a. Stewie, in the Barclays arena days after the team’s home opener. They discuss Stewie’s experience at the Met Gala, what it’s like to be a bonafide basketball star, and who is really behind the Liberty’s famous mascot, Ellie the Elephant.
