Gap’s Holiday 2009 Collection
For this year’s holiday theme, the likes of Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic are going for the more cozy, intimate, but very eye-catching styles.
A preview of the collection was presented to its loyal patrons at a New York store, showing a selection of cheerful choices with flannel, plaids and some holiday-themed style.
More details after the cut…
From this Yahoo News:
- Old Navy?s holiday offerings emphasized bright, neon flannel, cozy moccasin slippers with Scandinavian-style knit patterns and thick rainbow-hued socks. For a casual yet dressy look, there were loose tent dresses or denim peasant dresses with embroidered bibs.
- Gap collections for men, women and children all stayed true to that fall and winter staple of recent seasons, plaid. Flannel shirts were layered with chunky wool sweaters and scarves and winter white denim provided a counterpoint to the usual dark denim fare. Glam fleece-lined fabric covered platform boots looked well-suited to a dry disco floor, but probably wouldn?t be sufficient for tromping around the snowy sidewalks of Aspen.
- Banana Republic riffed off downtown chic accessories – most retailing for under $100 – like multi-strand chain necklaces, quilted fabric bib and ribbon tie necklaces, popularized in recent seasons by designers like Subversive Jewelry, Lanvin and Vera Wang. Everyday classics like cashmere sweaters could be dressed up with the oversized crystal embellishments that adorned clutch bags and ballet flats. Basic military coats were juxtaposed with statement tops in pleated or ruffled silk or with collars made from folded ribbons of felt.
