New Designers at the GAP!

"This fashion mashup brings Vogue wunderkinds Alexander Wang, Vena Cava and Albertus Swanepoel to the khaki fray. Continuing in the tradition of last year's design editions line (with white shirts), GAP again asked Vogue and CFDA noms to put their twist on the store's go-to khakis. Brooklyn babes Vena Cava added their sig patterns to two dresses, and sketched all over boyfriend and straight-legged khakis. These boho pieces add a little leggy surprise to your summer get-up. Alexander Wang brings his tough-chic aesthetic to a peacoat and motorcycle jacket, but for the sizzling summer sun you won't be able to pass on his precious pleated khaki shorts. And the icing on the cake? Swanepoel's flirty headwear, which brings a little style to the shade. With enough fresh mix-and-match pieces to get you from this season to next, trust us: it's worth the drive."
