LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Tori Bowie, the
3-time Olympic Track & Field medalist who took home gold
at the 2016 Rio Olympics, is also a professional fashion
model.
In addition to her exceptional sporting achievements and
accolades, the long-legged beauty has recently been in the couture
spotlight; most prominently for being featured in Valentino's
2018 Resort campaign, as well as the Stella
McCartney x Adidas collaboration.
On Sunday, January 20,
2019, Bowie will walk the runway at Paris Fashion Week
for Y-3, the
ongoing collaboration label founded in 2002
between Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto; a Japanese designer
known for his avant-garde designs and striking
silhouettes. Y-3 established and continues to redefine the
category of fashion sportswear.
"I feel it is so perfect for me to model for Y-3, and I'm thrilled to be involved,"
Tori Bowie humbly states. "I
personally am a blend of sports and fashion myself, and the
Y-3 brand fuses high fashion
with advanced sportswear!"
Taking place at the Garage Amelot in Paris' Marais neighborhood, the Y-3 runway show will feature models and Adidas
star athletes, who besides Tori
Bowie include speed runner Noah
Lyles, and skaters Donta Hill
and Kai Hillebrand.
In addition to training for the 2020 Olympic Games in
Tokyo, Bowie is currently gearing
up for February 9, 2019 - a day when all eyes will be on
the decorated sprinter as she headlines the Women's 60
Meter Dash in New York at
the 112th NYRR Millrose Games. Airing live
on NBC, this is the world's longest-running and most
prestigious track & field competition.
