Athleta, the elevated fashion label, recently announced a new partnership with 5-time GRAMMY award-winner Alicia Keys. The new initiative will focus on empowering women by building communities, creating product offerings, and expanding access to well-being resources.
As a mentor and advisor for Athleta's Power of She Fund, Keys will also help the brand connect meaningfully with women through AthletaWell, Athleta's community focused on women's well-being. A collection of Keys and Athleta products will be released in celebration of International Women's Day (March 8, 2022). Starting March 8 at Athleta.com and all Athleta retail locations, the Athleta x Alicia Keys collection will be available in sizes XXS-3X.
"With the recent launch of our digital community, AthletaWell, we created a space where women can connect with each other around topics of well-being, health and purpose. With a values-driven partnership like this one with Alicia, we are ideally positioned to continue to meet our customer's needs in the well-being space and support her across all aspects of her life," said Mary Beth Laughton, president and chief executive officer of Athleta.
