Burst in Style: Valentino For Gap

Valentino For Gap

While we were drooling over Lanvin for H&M, another big fashion retailer - Gap collaborated with designers from another high-end brand in creating an affordable yet chic collection for the mass customer.

The collection was launched in the end of November. Gap presented 7 pieces desidned by Valentino's artists to celebrate the opening of the first Gap store in Milan. The clothes are said to embody the essence of both brands. Unfortunately, the access to it is limited. It is available only in Milan, Paris and London stores, but eBay is always an option if you are determined to purchase some of the pieces.

Here is what Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli say about the collaboration:

“We love mixing different cultures and we have been excited to mix gap’s timeless essentials with our roman culture of Couture. It brings together the iconic world of Valentino and Gap’s fashion staples, synthesizing the current trend of combining luxury with basics”
