American Dream–Prep reigns as Gant turns to Garrett Neff and Will Chalker for their spring/summer 2012 campaign. Putting their best face forth, a joyous Garrett and Will hit the green for a classic outing with all the right trimmings: seersucker, chambray and colorful twills.
Water and Sky Have a Fragrance–Perfumer Pierre Wulff and bottle designer Pierre Dinand have collaborated with Gant to create the label’s first in-house fragrance. With a charming blue glass bottle design and nautical inspired aroma, Wulff and Dinand have outdone themselves with their new creation.
