Venus Williams Earns Another Title

Posted Dec 14th 2007 3:34PM by TMZ Staff

Current Wimbledon champ Venus Williams acquired a new award on Thursday -- a diploma!

The 27-year-old phenom donned a cap and gown for her graduation from the prestigious Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Didn't Giorgio Armani go there? (He didn't.) After eight years -- and hundreds of tennis matches -- Williams finally obtained her degree in fashion design. Wait, this could make Venus the one celeb that will actually design for her own fashion line?! Crazy!

Check out some pics of Venus' stellar collection from her EleVen brand of clothing.

16. The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale has poduced many of the top interior designers in South Florida and offers an Associate and Bachelors Degree. Venus just received a Bachelors Degree - Black Robes can only be worn for Bachelor degrees. Also, her degree is in Interior Design and not Fashion Design. She owns a very successful Interior Design firm in Jupiter, Florida called "V Starr Interiors" that she opened 4 or 5 years ago and hired a liscended interior designer to run it for her.

23. thank you TMZ for the VENUS info. She looks so happy in her pictures. Her father is a remarkable man. He devoted himself to Venus & Serena. Not only are they world class tennis champions but they've grown up to be terrific people !
Congratulations Venus. I LOVE the outfits and shoes especially the sneakers in the picture.

25. Okay, for you idiots who aren't in the design field, The Art Institute is a great school and has produced many successful designers and artists.

Congrats to Venus and welcome to the AI alumni club.
