Gap Partners with CFDA and Vogue to Introduce Gap Design Editions
Gap introduced a new limited edition collection for women, designed exclusively for Gap by Doo.Ri, Rodarte and Thakoon - three of the most celebrated, emerging American design labels in the industry today.

The collection, named Gap Design Editions, is part of Gap's recently announced partnership with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund (CVFF), an initiative established to support and encourage new American design talent.

"Gap has a rich history of celebrating creativity and offering consumers iconic American styles.

We're proud to collaborate with world class design talent like Doo.Ri, Rodarte and Thakoon to create a special collection that reflects each designer's unique vision and Gap's classic aesthetic," said Marka Hansen, president of Gap North America.

"Vogue has a long tradition of supporting young talent - in particular our local talent, to secure a brilliant future for American fashion. And Gap's Design Editions project is in the same spirit: it will give a boost to the three CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners, and bring their wonderful designs to a much bigger audience," said Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief, Vogue.
