The American apparel brand GAP has unveiled its Spring 2022 campaign, and leading the pack is Harlem’s own Dapper Dan (a.k.a. designer Daniel Day) along with a similarly impressive cast of creatives. The Dapper Dan x GAP collaboration is appropriately reffered to as “DAP GAP.”
To launch the collab, the two American fashion icons got all “dapped” up for a special edition hoodie. Presented in a rich coral, “DAP” in GAP’s signature arched typeface is stamped upon the hoodie, capturing “American style at its best,” as GAP puts it in the press release. It’s a feel-good collab, spreading the kinda cheery vibes that are in all too short supply these days.
A similarly good mood can be seen throughout GAP’s Spring 2022 campaign, centered on one-of-a-kind individuals who embody the essence of self-expression. The diverse faces include supermodel Shalom Harlow, artist Kai-Isaiah Jamal, Savage X Fenty model Indira Scott, author Georgie Badiel-Liberty, activist Clementine Desseaux, artist CHITO, and artist-designer Bryant Giles.
Fresh off a “YEEZY GAP Engineered by Balenciaga” collection, GAP certainly has a kink for picking out tasteful collaborators. Names like Ev Bravado and Atelier & Repairs have also made the list of its A1 roster. We can only hop that the Telfar x Gap collab, which was reportedly put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will return soon. In the mean time, we have a lot to look forward to in the way of GAP collaborations this Spring.
The DAP GAP sweatshirt is available in Gap Stores and online now.
