The Budget Fashionista

It’s definitely time for some shaking up at Gap—the offerings as of late have been adequate, but not exactly inspired. Enter Patrick Robinson to kick start the brand (more on that here: http://www.latimes.com/features/lifestyle/la-ig-gap10feb10,1,5934040.story?track=rss)

New blood is good, but Robinson didn’t fare so well with his Target line, which was supposed to target (no pun intended) pretty much the same demographic. So, what are your predictions for the future of Gap style? Bright, or boring?

I can’t imagine it’s going to be easy.
Too many stores, too many repetitions… I’m just not sure. :-S

I was a Gap Girl for 5 years and it wasn’t an easy thing! What you have to remember about Gap is that it is a retailer for classic items. I don’t know about you but I don’t go to Gap to find the latest trends. They do denim like no one else does for a reasonable price. I think the same goes for their khakis. Gap is predictable and I think that is why they have been so succesful.

Gap’s stuff are comfortable and their price is reasonable, not to mention the durability of their jeans.
