activewear brand Vuori announces Olivia Dunne, All-American gymnast for

media personality, as its newest brand collaborator. In partnering
with Vuori, Dunne will take part in a variety of marketing
initiatives throughout the next two years including promotional
photoshoots and social media takeovers as well as branded virtual
and in-person events.
Dunne, a sophomore at Louisiana State

years old. In 2014, Dunne became the youngest athlete in
the United States to qualify as a
Junior International Elite. By 2017, she earned a spot on the
USA National Team and was selected
to represent the U.S. at The City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy, where she and her junior teammates won
gold in the All-Around competition. In 2020, Dunne began her
collegiate career at LSU on a full
athletic scholarship and during her freshman season was named WCGA
All-American, WCGA Academic All-American, and First-Year SEC
Academic Honor Roll Honoree. Dunne has earned top-10 finishes in
the floor and balance beam at multiple P&G Championships and
qualified for the 2020 Nastia Liukin Cup. Known for her gymnastics
prowess and fun-spirited personality, Dunne boasts 5.7 million
followers across Instagram and TikTok. Dunne's exclusive
partnership with Vuori is her first-ever brand deal.
"We are so excited to welcome Livvy to the Vuori family," said
Nikki Sakelliou, Vice President of Marketing at Vuori. "When we
think about who we are as a brand, we frequently return to the
notion of wanting to encourage our community to lead happy,
well-rounded lives—that's what's at the core of 'The Rise. The
Shine.', our brand mantra. From her astonishing talents and
determination as a gymnast to the positivity she spreads on social
media, Livvy is a wonderful representation of the mindset we at
Vuori aim to inspire."
"Fashion has always been a huge passion of mine," said
Olivia Dunne, gymnast at
Louisiana State University and Vuori
brand collaborator. "Before college, my coach and I would design my
own custom leotards for all my major competitions. I love
expressing myself through my style and I fell in love with Vuori
because I thought their clothes looked and felt amazing. I couldn't
be more proud that my first brand partnership is with them."
Dunne is represented by WME Sports.
