Ever since Gap Inc. appointed Zac Posen as the executive vice president and creative director in February 2024, all eyes have been on the American retailer — and rightfully so. In record time, Posen has maintained the brand’s decades-old authenticity while elevating its status among celebrities. So far, Anne Hathaway, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Coco Rocha, and Demi Moore (to name a few) have worn custom Gap at A-list affairs. And now, per the label’s latest update, Gap’s new era is more accessible than ever before.
On April 1, 2025, the household name launched GapStudio — a new collection of red carpet-level craftsmanship at mall-approved prices (under $250). As soon as April 3, you can shop Posen’s latest creations without securing an appointment at his atelier. Bright and early on Tuesday morning, word spread about Posen’s newest brainchild: GapStudio (don’t worry, it’s not an April Fool’s joke). Two days before the first collection drops online and in-store, the brand teased the new pieces with a supermodel-led campaign.
Esteemed fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti captured Alex Consani, Imaan Hammam, and Anok Yai in head-to-toe GapStudio. According to the imagery, the new line will spotlight innovative denim designs — the company’s most signature fabric. “Inside Gap’s New York HQ, we’ve built a creative studio where I’ve designed looks for the red carpet, and where we’ll continue to collaborate with visionary talent in the future,” Posen wrote in a press release. “GapStudio Collection 01 reflects that vision — blending tailoring with innovative denim treatments that sculpt and refine the fabric in new ways. This is just the beginning.”
Believe it or not, the same design studio behind Hathaway’s shirt dress and Randolph’s Met Gala gown fronted GapStudio. So, expect divine denim, sleek silhouettes, and timeless Americana attire. “GapStudio creates both accessible, coveted retail collections and exclusive, one-of-a-kind designs that celebrate self-expression and solidify Gap’s place in culture,” said Mark Breitbard, the president and CEO of Gap in an official statement.
The collection’s leading look is the Poplin Maxi Shirtdress — the exact LWD Hathaway wore to a Bulgari event in May 2024. It’s still $158 but available in two additional color-ways (tan and blue). Then, there’s the Denim Tailored Trench Coat, worn by Consani in the corresponding ad. The jean streak continues with the Double-Breasted Denim Blazer and matching mini skirt, plus a High-Rise Denim Sailor Pant and a similar skort.
But wait — there’s more. As shown in the campaign, the line features modern must-haves “through Posen’s distinct approach to drape, tailoring, and construction,” including menswear-inspired button-downs, corseted midi dresses, slip dresses, and versatile outerwear. Yes, these pieces align with today’s aesthetics, but even so, they feel grounded in Gap’s history. “I love working with our photo archive,” Posen told InStyle, citing “all the great Gap portraits and the amazing prints” as a constant source of inspiration. He even channeled the brand’s “little finishing techniques” from decades past, with vintage-inspired buttons and stitching.
The inaugural GapStudio drop comes at the perfect time: the start of a new season. So, if you’re in the mood to revamp your spring style, shop Posen’s newest launch ASAP on April 3. And stay tuned to TZR as the New York-based designer’s reign at Gap continues.
In the celeb world, there are great sneaker lovers: Hailey Bieber, Olivia Wilde, Dakota Johnson, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez... All of them are always on trend when it comes to sneakers. However, one of the names that does not come to mind when we talk about sneakers is Anne Hathaway. Her impeccable red carpet style often makes us forget about her street looks, which are characterized by being quite classic and elegant.
However, Anne Hathaway, although she doesn't wear them much, has shown that she does know how to wear sneakers (and very well). In fact, one of her latest looks is very inspiring for lovers of this footwear. The actress wore a pink tracksuit, one of the shades of the season, with a black blazer on top. The Nike sneakers that she chose to close the outfit were the most exclusive; they are the Off-White x Nike Air Max 97 'Elemental Rose', sneakers that, even if you see them and want them, are very difficult to get.
These Nike sneakers, introduced in 2018, are the result of a collaboration between Virgil Abloh, Nike, and Serena Williams. The number of sneakers released was very limited and so desirable that they have become a real collector's item. In nylon and mesh, in purple and pink, with green details in homage to tennis balls as a nod to the tennis player, the "Elemental Rose" is a special design for those who want a shoe that moves away from the classic and what everyone else has.
