Diane von Furstenberg brings iconic prints to Gap Kids

MANILA, Philippines - Iconic prints, chic silhouettes, and a bold color palette - all of these will soon be available at Gap stores as it announces the launch of its first collection by Diane von Furstenberg for GapKids and babyGap Spring 2012.

Launching exclusively at the Gap stores in Shangri-La Plaza and Boniifacio High Street , the DVF x GAP collection captures the essence of a little girl’s dream wardrobe, playfully designed by an icon of American women's fashion.

Diane, together with the design team at Gap, created a collection true to her unique style; translating colorful prints and silhouettes into magical dresses fit for a summer wardrobe. Essentials include easy t-shirt dresses, tanks and shorts, capris, leggings and swimwear. The collection also includes accessories such as sunglasses, espadrilles, and sandals. Young girls can playfully experiment with the DVF collection; evolving their own style and individuality.

At the heart of the collection are vintage Diane von Furstenberg prints, including the instantly recognizable hibiscus and leaf motifs. Simply, Diane's signature prints meet Gap's relaxed style. The playfully mixed collection encourages young girls to be bold and playful with their personal style.

The legendary wrap is re-invented with a child-like higher waist detail in structured cotton or as a jersey romper shape for babies and toddlers. The dress collection continues with a series of exquisite cotton shift dresses incorporating print with a refined appliqué daisy detail, or delicate layers of cotton voile, as well as an elegant white cotton eyelet style that is perfect for the summer months.

Each piece in the collection bears a new Gap DVF motif, customized with a "Diane von Furstenberg" crest and badges calling out "DVF Gap" and Diane's personal mantra "Love is Life."

“I am thrilled to collaborate with Gap on this playful collection for girls. It is timeless, colorful, effortless. That is very DVF!” said Diane von Furstenberg.

Gap is exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Casual Clothing Specialists, Inc. (CCSI), a subsidiary of Stores Specialists, Inc., and is available at SM Mall of Asia, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, TriNoMa Mall, Glorietta 4, Bonifacio High Street, Alabang Town Center, SM Megamall, Robinsons Place Manila, and Abreeza Mall in Davao.
