Gap is returning to its roots. The brand has teamed up once again with Harlem’s Fashion Row for a new collaboration centered on denim, the fabric most closely tied to Gap’s heritage. The 20-piece collection launches today and brings together five designers of color, each reinterpreting iconic Gap silhouettes through their own creative lens.
Participating designers include Daveed Baptiste, LaTouché, Igdaliah Pickering of IGDALYAH, Waina Chancy of Atelier Ndigo, and Nicole Benefield of Nicole Benefield Portfolio. Each contributes a four-piece capsule that blends archival inspiration with statement construction.
The collection will be available starting at 12 p.m. ET on gap.com and in select stores, including The Grove, Chestnut Street, Aventura, and Times Square. Prices range from $98 to $148. The rollout also includes select international markets such as Japan, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, the UK, and Czech Republic. Watch below:
Each capsule reflects a distinct point of view:
Daveed Baptiste draws on Caribbean heritage and sculptural form to create fluid silhouettes inspired by ocean waves and blue sunsets. Embroidery, washes, and movement are central to his interpretation.
LaTouché approaches denim through tailoring and fabric experimentation, introducing pleating, structure, and bold proportion shifts that reframe classic pieces.
IGDALYAH channels her Virgin Islands roots with surreal textiles and a custom washed turquoise teal denim designed to evoke the color of the sea. Feminine shapes meet statement detailing.
Atelier Ndigo, led by Waina Chancy, brings architectural lines and intricate embroidery to the collection. Inspired by her Haitian background, the Choublak flower appears throughout the capsule as a design motif.
Nicole Benefield Portfolio leans into utilitarian tailoring and menswear inspired construction, redefining denim as a modern uniform through monochromatic palettes and structured essentials.
Standout pieces include the Denim Zip Hoodie and Embroidered Baggy Jeans by Daveed Baptiste, LaTouché’s Extra High Rise Stripe Denim Trousers and Stitched Denim Bomber Jacket, IGDALYAH’s Denim Peplum Shirt and Oversized Icon Denim Jacket, Atelier Ndigo’s Denim Corset Top and Floral Extra Baggy Jeans, and Nicole Benefield’s UltraSoft Denim Wide Shoulder Shirt and Baggy Barrel Jeans. Take a look below:
By pairing Gap’s legacy with Harlem’s Fashion Row’s commitment to spotlighting emerging designers of color, the collaboration reframes denim not just as a staple, but as a platform for cultural storytelling and craftsmanship.
For Gap, it is heritage. For HFR, it is visibility. Together, it is a fresh take on a classic fabric.
