Gap Design Editions

Caffeine, they look great on you! :woot: Were there a lot of pieces still left at your location?

^I personally really like the Doo.Ri scarf blouse. Don't know how it would look in real life though..

I'm still not sure if they're selling over here... I may have to call all the stores tomorrow. Is everything selling well? Do you guys think there will still be smaller sizes by the weekend? I really want the Rodarte bow dress and trapeze top :(
 
Cekla; good & bad news. I just got an email back from Gap after I asked them which locations in Canada had the shirts. Fast reply actually, it took less than an hour ^_^ This is what it said:

I'm in Toronto and I went to the Gap at Eaton Centre mid-afternoon today and the had a lot of stock. They also said that they had the shirts at the Bloor location. Hope this helps
 
i checked their website and i'm really surprised there are so many stores that are carrying these shirts in connecticut . . . even a couple close by! i'm going to stop there tomorrow before my morning class and see if i can get that scarf blouse. i think it's delightful, and it will probably be quite useful this weekend (i'm going to be in montreal, where i might still need a scarf . . . :blink:). if it ends up being not so nice in person, though, i guess i'll have to pass.
 
I didn't end up making it across the border today but i even got my mum interested in these shirts so hopefully it'll happen tomorrow and people in michigan won't be all over this. I called my Gap in Canada and she was oddly super informed. She told me the Bloor Gap has them as well as the Square One location (Mississauga I believe). I'm not sure outside of Ontario unfortunately though I'm sure the Gaps in Calgary (Chinook), Montreal, and Vancouver will carry them.
 
I adore the Rodarte trapeze top and had it in my cart at gap.com yesterday. Unfortunately, they sold out of the S size before I could check out. I almost bought a M instead, but from what I am hearing about the sizing, I am glad that I decided against it.
 
mizbee they will be restocking soon! hopefully you'll get it.


luckily for me, i'm in LA so there are plenty of stores that have it. my friend's sister works at the GAP and got 3 items for me!
 
so i went to the gap today and bought the doo.ri scarf blouse. at the moment i like it...but i am unsure i will keep it. it's a bit too sheer to be very practical on its own, and although it is pretty classic compared to some of the other shirts, i just don't know if it's "me" enough to justify buying. i could've bought something else with that $72...meh. i'm going to mull it over for a couple of days and see how i feel then.
 
Vogue reinvents the white shirt with Rodarte, Thakoon, and Doo.Ri

Wednesday, April 18, 2007


(NEW YORK) Fashion’s new guard showed up in full force at the über-hip Bowery Hotel Tuesday night for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund party honoring winners Doo-Ri Chung of Doo.Ri, Thakoon’s Thakoon Panichgul, and Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, all of whom were tapped to designed a series of limited-edition white shirts for fashion megabrand Gap's latest venture, Gap Design Editions. Adorning the entrance was an enormous blow-up of the Vogue’s May cover, which prominently heralds “The World’s Next Top Models,” including Coco Rocha, Doutzen Kroes, Chanel Iman, Caroline Trentini, and Hilary Rhoda—all of whom were on hand, as were their friends and fellow models Lisa Cant, Irina Lazareanu, and Jacquetta Wheeler.
While Virginia Smith and Meredith Melling Burke were billed as the event’s co-hosts, Anna Wintour nevertheless graciously greeted guests, including Jenni Kayne, Richard Chai, Amanda Brooks, Fabiola Beracasa, Sari Gueron, Tory Burch, Dennis Basso, Jessica Joffe, Melissa Bent, Dr. Lisa Airan, Zani Gugelmann, Annie Churchill, and Gap president Marka Hansen, who brought along her creative force—and the man behind the company ad campaigns—Trey Laird. A handful of partygoers, including Tracey Ellis Ross, Cecilia Dean, and Jess Weisler even donned the much-coveted Gap designs straight out of the boxes unpacked earlier that morning. But the focus was on the designers and their virtually sold-out designs, available exclusively at Gap stores and on the company’s Web site (within minutes of their online debut Tuesday, many sizes and styles were completely sold out).

“I wish my company worked this way, where all I do is design and someone else takes over,” Chung enthused of her partnership with Gap. “It was fantastic.” Kate Mulleavy offered, “It was really an amazing experience designing for the Gap because the whole project was really conceptual.” Panichgul also raved about his Gap gig. “It was really cool to go into their studio and give them an idea and see it within hours,” he said. “That kind of fastness was amazing.”
Surrounded by massive black-and-white images of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund/Gap campaign, shot by Ines Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, many guests took a trip down Gap memory lane. “In 1984, my mother took me to the Gap in New Hampshire where we have a country house,” recalled Vogue’s Valerie Boster. “She bought me a pair of jeans. But my favorite Gap item is still the white T-shirt.” Designer Chris Benz, who brought and dressed his friend/muse Elettra Rossellini-Wiedemann, recounted fondly his grunge days in Seattle. “The first time I went to the Gap was my freshman year in high school,” he recounted, laughing, “We raided the polo shirts on the sales rack, and we always loved to cuff up our chinos and wear them really low. I will always love a Gap chino.”
Guests leaving at the end of the night were given a goodie bag with one of three shirts designed by three designers. “I got the Thakoon shirt dress,” raved Jackie Astier. “I’m almost tempted to run to the bathroom and change into it now.” Later in the evening, on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel, Tina Chai, attending her second party of the night, was dismayed that she hadn’t been given a goodie bag. “What? They were giving away the shirts?” she asked with disbelief. “I should run back and get one!”
