Cocky guy may bring classic back.....



There is an exciting rumor going around that the always dapper and often edgy Kanye West is taking his summer internship at Gap seriously and may be looking to design a special collection for the troubled retailer. I could not be more pleased with this news and truly hope that this becomes reality.

Gap has struggled for some time now to remain relevant in this new world of anti-cookie cutter fashion and designer jeans and tees. When is the last time you purposely visited Gap and paid full price for anything there? There are much "cooler" options in the mall to choose from. Don't get me wrong, in theory there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Gap, I always have a basic pair of jeans on hand however, it is no longer a must for the average shopper.

The collaboration of Gap's Executive Vice President of Design, Patrick Robinson and Kanye should hopefully send us all in a tizzy and running to the nearest Gap for khakis and jeans. I, for one would like to see this retailer back on top. Kanye debuted as an artist dressed head to toe in Ralph Lauren (the king of prep) and convinced us that preppy was cool again....lightning can certainly strike twice. What do you think?
