Mad-GAP-py is a collaborative range that is dreamed up by the fashion imprints GAP and Madhappy. The two brands celebrate youth culture throughout the century and there are references to the Y2K era as a main point of influence. GAP is a brand that exudes a sense of nostalgia as it was the main form of branded hoodies for decades.
Madhappy launched in 2017 and it also fell into the hoodie realm with a strong statement. Now the two join heads to create a collective range which was announced on July 29th. It is comprised of silhouettes such as denim, accessories, outerwear, and of course, hoodies. The official launch takes place on August 2nd and can be shopped on both brands' platforms.
