Sugar and spice and all things nice

Capturing the essence of a little girl’s dream wardrobe, Gap launches its first collection by Diane

von Furstenberg for Gapkids. The outfits are ideal for summer and target girls aged between six and

12 years.
Furstenberg, an icon of American women’s fashion, worked with design team at Gap in creating a

collection that’s true to her style. Her experiences as a mother and grandmother ensured that the

designs would delight girls and their mums alike.
Iconic prints, signature silhouettes and a bold colour palette translate into magical dresses that aspire

to Mum’s style while enhancing a youngster’s summer wardrobe. At the heart of the collection are

vintage Diane von Furstenberg prints including instantly recognisable hibiscus and leaf motifs.

Essentials pieces include tshirts in pink and heather grey bearing the new Gap DVF motif, which

also appears on flipflops, ballet pumps, jersey tanks, leggings, sunhats, beach bags, sunglasses, and

hitop sneakers.
One of the star pieces – a navy stripe seersucker blazer  is customised with a Diane von Furstenberg

crest and badges calling out “DVF Gap” and Furstenberg’s personal mantra “Love is Life”.

Swimwear, espadrilles, and sandals allow a young girl to playfully experiment with her evolving

style and individuality, escaping from pretty girlish dresses to rough and tumble essentials.
The designer commented that she was thrilled to collaborate with Gap on this playful collection for

girls. “It is timeless, colourful, and effortless. That’s very DVF.”
At the recent launch, young girls had fun selecting and dressing DVF Gap. Those attending the

event included super model Sirinya “Cindy” Bishop and her girl Leila, Palleeporn Pornprapa and

her daughter Napa, mother of three Witida Tranga     disaikul and Mai, Madmee, and Linin. The

president of Siam Commercial Bank, Khunying Chada Wattanasiritham came with her daughter

Chompan Kulnites and her fiveyearold granddaughter Pran.
The collection is available only at Gap Siam Paragon Store.
