Gap Next Gen Icons Campaign
Lucky Blue Smith and Labrinth are sources of inspiration to take in Gap’s essential classics. New proportions and organic materials created with sustainable Washwell water-saving processes help redefine the Gap Icons collection this autumn.
“At Gap, Icons are a symbol of timeless individuality, and there’s nothing more iconic than shaping culture by amplifying your true self and talent,” explains Mary Alderete, Global Head of Gap Marketing. “A Gap Icon is an essential classic–the mallcore standard, really–like our 70s flare and 90s loose Washwell denim, pleated and flatfront Washwell khakis and big white organic cotton shirts.”
Lucky Blue Smith and Labrinth pose for images taken by Koto Bolofo for the fall 2022 Icons campaign for Gap. The pictures used in the advertisement pay homage to Gap Icons, which are recognizable by their concentration on a simple and timeless design since the company’s founding in 1969. In addition, Gap’s classic basics feature new textiles produced ethically to ensure a sustainable future.
Impressed by the talents and passions of Gap’s campaign stars for fall 2022, Mary Alderete expresses, “We’re excited to celebrate these Icons in our fall campaign as a diverse group of individuals, effortlessly styled in Gap updated classics, who are using their unique talents and abilities to better us all.”
Labrinth is a man of many guises: he is a musician, an artist, a humanitarian, and a creator. Through the medium of music, he can transmit his vitality and connect with other people’s spirits. Meanwhile, model and actor Lucky Blue Smith effectively uses his platform to promote positive mental health practices.
