Gap has joined forces with Harlem's Fashion Row to release an incredible capsule collection in honor of Black History Month. This special collaboration showcases the talent and creativity of Black-owned brands and designers of color, bringing their unique styles to the forefront of fashion.
The collection, which was unveiled on Wednesday, features designs from five visionary creators: Aaron Potts, Bruce + Glen Porter, Krystal Phillips, Nicole King, and Patrick Henry. Each piece combines the designer's individual flair with Gap's classic American aesthetic, resulting in fashion-forward yet accessible items that appeal to culturally aware consumers.
Brandice Daniel, CEO and founder of Harlem's Fashion Row, expressed her excitement for the partnership, saying, "Our collaboration with Gap goes beyond just fashion. It's about creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and amplifying the voices of these incredibly talented designers. Together, we are not only celebrating creativity, but also building a legacy of inclusivity and empowerment that will inspire generations to come."
The limited-edition collection consists of 16 pieces, including structured poncho hoodies, layered shirts, floral hoodies, and puff-sleeve denim shirts. Each item reflects the designers' immense talent, attention to quality, and innovative take on classic fashion pieces.
This collection expands on Gap's previous partnership with Harlem's Fashion Row, which began in 2019. Through this collaboration, Gap has been able to support diverse designers through various initiatives, including industry collaborations, educational programs, and investments in HBCU fashion initiatives through HFR's ICON360 program.
Launching at a time when diversity and Black-owned businesses are facing increasing challenges, this capsule collection is more than just a fashion statement. It is a powerful celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and inclusivity, paying tribute to the enduring influence of Black designers in the fashion industry.
Mark Breitbard, Gap's President and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "This collaboration is a natural fit, as our shared mission is to empower creators and provide them with a platform to showcase their talents to the world. Each designer's unique creativity takes center stage in this collection, offering a fresh and authentic perspective that results in a truly original collection."
The pieces in this collection range from $89 to $129 and are now available on Gap's website and select Gap locations. The collection will officially launch on February 14th at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT.
This is not the first time that Harlem's Fashion Row has partnered with a major brand. In fact, they have previously collaborated with Nike for their 5th Annual Designer's Retreat. This partnership further highlights the important role that Harlem's Fashion Row plays in promoting diversity and inclusivity in the fashion industry.
