Tuesday will see the debut of a brand-new capsule collection from Gap in collaboration with The Brooklyn Circus's creator and creative director, Ouigi Theodore. The collection merges the worlds of academia, music, and Black culture, delivering chinos, basketball shorts, sweatpants, an Oxford popover, rugby, a chore jacket, and a crewneck sweatshirt. The campaign also includes a tribute to the late Stephen "Twitch" Boss. Gap is launching this collection in support of The 988 Lifeline and Vibrant Emotional Health in memory of Boss.
"Gap has always been in my history, which is where I find inspiration for our designs. We took our graphic elements and brought that explosion of energy and culture to iconic Gap styles. I'm proud of what we've put together and honored to launch a campaign with Gap that highlights various communities," commented Ouigi Theodore.
