The Coolest Designers on the Planet Are at The Gap?

Huh? What? The Coolest Designers on the Planet are at the Gap?

The latest limited edition capsule collection from The Gap x GQ collection consists of eight sweatshirts, one crewneck and seven hoodies, created by the eight designers. This year, Gap invited Balmain, Dsquared2, MSGM, No Vacancy Inn, Officine Générale, Opening Ceremony, Stampd and Surf is Dead to design their take on the classic Gap sweatshirt. Designed to their brand aesthetic, each designer incorporated their own logo alongside the Gap logo with custom colour palette, graphics and silhouette. The collection features some great riffs on classic logo hoodies from the Gap from some great designers…but coolest on the planet? Nah. But some are worth copping. My picks?

The MGSM hoodie features a double hood, $94
The Dsquared2 Sweatshirt features some great side zips, $105

 

The collection is available starting November 28th, at select Gap stores in more than seven countries, including the United States, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and throughout Europe. It will also be available online at www.gapcanada.ca. The collection ranges from $74.95 to $158.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
