Under Armour and Misty Copeland Launch the Misty Copeland Signature Collection, Celebrating Strength and Style
BALTIMORE, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, four years into her partnership with the athletic performance brand, Under Armour and Misty Copeland launch her revolutionary Signature Collection. Co-designed with the principal ballerina, the Misty Copeland Signature Collection embodies a stylistic story of poise and power, and is rooted in performance, which is synonymous with the Under Armour brand.
The Misty Copeland Signature Collection was created with versatility in mind without compromising performance. The apparel was built on the foundation that while Misty is an athlete, she has an effortless, elevated feminine look outside of the studio where she’s able to express herself. Through hand-drawn sketches, inspiration and conversation, Misty’s vision of achieving an elegant and feminine, yet strong line came to fruition.
“Under Armour helped my vision become a reality and I’m so excited to share this collection with women everywhere. I wanted a line where we could feel fierce in the gym, and at the same time, feel confident wearing the same look out to dinner, running errands or living our everyday lives,” said Copeland. “As someone that appreciates style and fashion as much as I do, it has been a dream come true to be so intimately involved in the design process. I wanted to showcase the versatility of my own personal style, and together with Under Armour, we are bringing a beautiful collection to life.”
The Misty Copeland Signature Collection ranges from leggings and work out tanks, to bodysuits and trench coats. From the beginning, it was Misty’s priority to highlight the strength of a woman’s body in her collection, resulting in structured pieces that highlight curves while still feeling delicate. For example, she incorporated a feminine trend like lace and put it through a performance lens to make it feel modern and fresh in a bodysuit silhouette.
“We feel strongly that women should look and feel great in their clothing, and Misty’s Signature Collection truly embodies that, complete with feminine cuts and gorgeous fabrics,” said Morgan Goerke, General Manager of Women’s at Under Armour. “Under Armour celebrates the power of women, and Misty is the epitome of a powerful woman with the poise, command and grace she carries with her on and off the stage. Misty’s passion for lifting women up perfectly aligns with Under Armour’s platform and the result is this beautiful, collaborative collection.”
All of the pieces from the Misty Copeland Signature Collection have the ability to stand on their own or be paired together. Classic Under Armour cuts and technology are incorporated into each piece, making them durable, innovative and flattering. The collection uses UA Breathelux fabric, which is wicking with a silky smooth, lightweight finish, and several pieces have a perforated lace pattern for additional ventilation and subtle style. The collection pieces range from $60 – $550 and include unique items such as the Misty Copeland Signature trench coat, a leather bomber jacket, a dress with a detachable bodysuit, a matching lace crop top and legging set, and more.
The Misty Copeland Signature Collection will be available for purchase on UA.com/Misty-Copeland-Collection, in Under Armour Brand Houses, and in select Macy’s locations.

Through their partnership, Remezcla and EthniFacts intend to shift the attention of media agencies and marketers toward activating this underrepresented Ambicultural® segment – one that fully functions in more than one culture.

“Millennial and Generation Z Latinos have a strong desire to become fluent and functional in their root cultures while fully embracing mainstream American society,” said Mike Lakusta, CEO and Founding Partner at EthniFacts. “Remezcla’s content and entertainment platform is proof that it’s not just about language, but about culture in the minds and hearts of these young Latinos. We’re thrilled to be partners with Remezcla, an innovative and influential media brand, in providing rich and actionable insights to activate this underrepresented community.”
Remezcla and EthniFacts are launching a series of data-supported cultural immersions starting in June in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas to preview key pillars driving the partnership. To secure an invitation or for more information, email [email protected].

/UPDATE — National Association of Letter Carriers/
In the news release, Letter Carriers’ Annual Food Drive Set for May 12 Throughout Nation, issued 02-May-2018 by National Association of Letter Carriers over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the numbers in the eighth and ninth paragraphs have been updated. The complete, corrected release follows:
Letter Carriers’ Annual Food Drive Set for May 12 Throughout Nation
26th Food Drive Will Help Feed Needy Families in All 50 States
WASHINGTON, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will conduct its 26th annual national food drive on Saturday, May 12.
The Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive, the country’s largest single-day food drive, provides residents with an easy way to donate food to those in need.
Customers simply leave their donation of non-perishable goods next to their mailbox before the delivery of the mail on Saturday, May 12. Letter carriers will collect these food donations on that day as they deliver mail along their postal routes, and distribute them to local food agencies. Visit stampouthungerfooddrive.us to learn more.
The Letter Carriers’ food drive is held annually on the second Saturday in May in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. It remains as important as ever, with many people facing economic struggles. Hunger affects about 50 million people around the country, including millions of children, senior citizens and veterans.
Letter carriers see these struggles in the communities they serve, and believe that it is important to do what they can to help.
“Over its first quarter-century, the food drive has only grown in importance and in impact,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said. “It’s an honor to be able to help people in need all across the United States – and to do so in a way that brings out the best in so many Americans.”
The timing is important, with food banks, pantries and shelters running low on donations from the winter holidays and with summer approaching, when most school meal programs are suspended.
Last year, letter carriers collected 75.3 million pounds of food, the third-highest amount since the food drive began in 1993. That brought the total over the past quarter-century to almost 1.6 billion pounds.
On May 12, as they deliver mail, the nation’s letter carriers will collect the donations that residents have left near their mail boxes. People are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mailbox before the regular mail delivery on Saturday.
Carriers will bring the food to local food banks, pantries or shelters. Several national partners are assisting NALC in the food drive: the U.S. Postal Service, the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union, the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, United Way Worldwide, the AFL-CIO, Valpak and Valassis.
This year’s effort includes a public service announcement with actor and director Edward James Olmos.
People who have questions about the drive in their area should ask their letter carrier, contact their local post office, or go to nalc.org/food, facebook.com/StampOutHunger or twitter.com/StampOutHunger.
********
The 280,000-member National Association of Letter Carriers represents letter carriers across the country employed by the U.S. Postal Service, along with retired letter carriers. Founded by Civil War veterans in 1889, the NALC is among the country’s oldest labor unions.
