COLETTE + GAP IMAGES ARE IN, and WE WANT EVERYTHING!


As we anxiously await the opening of Colette + Gap on September 6, we managed to get our hands on a few images from the collaborative, star-studded collection. Apparel will include this Gap denim “Dreamer” jacket by Olympia Le Tan, a customized trench by French graffiti artist AndrĂ© (the belt reads "Andre & Colette hearts New York & Paris"), and illustrated collaborative tees by a mix of French and New York artists and brands, among them Genevieve Gauckler, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Peter Arkle, Claw Money, Miss.Tic, and Clements Ribeiro. Check out a smattering of accessories below, like this sweet Alexis Mabille clutch, neon-blue Asics sneakers, Oakley shades with star-printed plastic frames, and a tiny knit key ring from Anne-Marie Herckes. The final haul will include an expanded array of crowd-pleasers — a Hello Kitty watch and ties by Adam Kimmel. Rest assured that we’ll be rushing the doors right along with you opening day to get our hands on a Ruben Toledo tee (Sigh).
