Launch You’ll Love: Diane von Furstenberg for GapKids and BabyGap, Available Starting Today!

Apr 25, 2013 @ 10:15 am

The most adorable launch of the year is now in stores: Diane von Furstenberg’s collection for GapKids and babyGap! One year after the designer’s first collaboration with the retailer debuted, she returns to deliver another collection full of mini-me pieces, and this time, she’s inspired by the “natural explorer” inside each child—think African-inspired safari prints and wild animal illustrations on rompers, wrap dresses, shorts, swimwear, and accessories, all with DVF’s bright and cheery touch. “It was a lot of fun to design a children’s collection and I am glad to repeat this year,” said von Furstenberg. “This time it is all about adventure, with the same attention to color and print. I think the result is playful and perfect for the little explorers of the world.” Shop the collection for the adventurous little girl in your life by heading to a local GapKids or babyGap near you or head to gap.com browse and buy online.

Sep 17, 2012 @ 5:48 pm

There’s a new woman responsible for making us fall into the Gap. The mega-brand, known best for its denim and stylish wardrobe staples, has just named Rebekka Bay creative director and head of global design, effective October 1. Formerly of H&M—she helped conceptualize, develop, and launch the COS brand under the Swedish retailer’s umbrella. Bay will oversee the women’s, men’s, 1969, accessories, and body lines. “Few brands in the world have the connection with customers that Gap enjoys today,” Bay said in a statement. “I’m incredibly excited to join this talented team and bring Gap’s American casual style to more and more customers.” She comes in on the heels of Patrick Robinson, who left the company last year, and will be based at Gap’s New York headquarters. We can’t wait to see what Rebekka Bay has in store!
