Gap and New York designer Sandy Liang have joined forces for a limited-edition apparel collection that reimagines American heritage through a lens of whimsical nostalgia. The partnership merges Gap’s timeless essentials with Liang's signature downtown aesthetic, proving the brand's iconic staples are the ultimate canvas for cross-generational creativity.
Liang, known for blending feminine details with a rebellious edge, channels her personal history throughout the drop. The collaboration is brought to life by an imaginative short film, Sandy's Dream Closet," which centers on her childhood neighborhood and her father’s Cantonese restaurant. As Liang states, “Growing up, Gap was the pinnacle of fashion. It’s incredible that I get to co-create with such an iconic brand that I treasured so much as a kid.”
The collection transforms everyday staples into coveted modern pieces. Denim is a major focus, featuring the Pleated Denim Mini Skirt and a Vegan Fur Crop Denim Jacket. Gap’s iconic fleece is refreshed with Liang’s reinterpretation of the classic arch logo and bow detailing on the Heavyweight Bow Oversized Hoodie. The outerwear assortment includes a Reversible Vegan Leather Sherpa Jacket and a Bow-Back Trench Coat.
Extending the appeal across generations, the collection includes online-exclusive mini matchbacks for babies and toddlers. Gap cardholders receive exclusive early access on October 9 via the mobile app, with the global launch following on Friday, October 10, at select stores and online.
