When we heard about the collaboration between luxury designer brand Valentino and GAP we were taken back a bit. But we were curious to see what would result of the collaboration. And as we`ve seen its a combination of the softness and feminity Valentino is known for combined with the clean lines and basic`s of what we know to be The GAP. "We love mixing different cultures and we have been excited to mix gap's timeless essentials with our roman culture of couture," the label's designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli explained. "It brings together the iconic world of Valentino and Gap's fashion staples, synthesising the current trend of combining luxury with basics."(source) The combining of the two brands has resulted in a 7 peice collection which was designed for the launching of GAP`s first Italian strore in Milan and arrived at Gap in London- as well as Dover Street Market and Colette in Paris - on November 27. And unfortnately is not available in GAP stores in North America sorry fashionista`s! But needless to say it came and it went in minutes as reported by ELLE UK similar to that of the madness of H&M designer collaborations. All that`s left is what you will find at ridiculously inflated prices on ebay. But Nylon Mag does report that you can by off of the Colette website as they do have 5 of the 7 peices and ship internationally. (source)Click on the above image to see the entire 7 peice capsule.
