News and TODAY show fashion correspondent – Zanna Roberts Rassi. ‘Crush of Adrenaline’ displayed athleticism, movement and power in an inspiring beautiful way. The show took place in an over-sized two story installation created to showcase the highest degree of performance.

We see this as a huge opportunity for Athleta, and are excited to showcase the incredible versatility of Athleta’s performance and lifestyle products during our fashion week event,” Nancy Green, President of Athleta at Gap, Inc.
