Designers created their own unique interpretations of the classic white shirt – an iconic item that has been part of Gap's heritage for more than thirty-five years.
Additionally, this year's Gap Design Editions include menswear and jewelry in black and white variations to complement the white shirts. The collection will be available exclusively in flagship and top Gap adult stores in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Japan and online in the U.S. at gap.com. Items will range in price from $35 to $88.
"As a partner in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Gap is committed to extending the creative talent of CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund designers with Gap Design Editions. The collection reflects true originality and demonstrates that innovate design is affordable at every price point," said CFDA Executive Director Steven Kolb.
3.I PHILLIP LIM
Designer Phillip Lim studied finance at California State University of Long before an internship with Katayone Adeli led to a full time job as design assistant. From there he went on to co-found the label Development, where Lim was the head designer for four years. Lim debuted his eponymous collection, 3.I phillip lim, in the fall of 2005 to instant success, and was nominated as a finalist for the prestigious 2006 Fashion Fund Award.
In 2006 Lim introduced both menswear and kid by phillip lim, the pint size version of his signature women's collection, while summer brought the first free standing 3.I phillip lim store on Mercer Street in NYC. In 2007 Lim was honored with the CFDA Swarovski Award for emerging talent in womenswear, his recognition for being a finalist for the Fashion Design Award of Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and a runner-up for the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award.
