Fall into the Gap (again)



For a few years now I haven't even set foot in the Gap.  For some reason, they seemed to have lost their niche.  However, recently they took on a new designer, Patrick Robinson, to head their team.  He previously worked for Perry Ellis and Armani, but he's seemed to have found his place at the Gap.  He's attempting to bring Gap back to the basics.  "Gap is supposed to make classic American clothes--the pea coat, the white shirt, the denim jean--cooler and more relevant every year.  It's not a brand that should play like H&M and Zara."  And he could not have done much better.  I've bought a few things from there for the fall myself.  Like the 90/10 cotton cashmere 3/4 sleeved shirts and cowl-necked cap sleeved wool sweater.  And with their whole Product Red line donating proceeds to women and children with aids in Africa it's practically guilt-free shopping!
