Gap Helps Fight AIDS

Katie Grand was hired by Gap to supervise and recruit designers around the world to develop new versions of their products with the Gap’s quality and accessibility.

This resulted in a creative collection sold in Gap stores in London and Paris starting December 1, which is International AIDS Day. To commemorate this day, 50% of the profits made on this day will be given to the Global Fund, which works to fight AIDS in Africa.

There will be t-shirts and camisoles created with logos of many designers such as Calvin Klein, Giles Deacon and many others. For the accessories, Grand worked with Mulberry, where she was named director of designs, to recreate the Roxanne handbag in red. Pierre Hardy created red satin flat shoes.

This collaboration will be celebrated this Thursday, November 29, in London with a meal organized by Grand and Sunnucks at the Bistrotheque.
