GAP AND SEAN WOTHERSPOON DESIGN REISSUE COLLECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME AS PART OF THEIR ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

by John Russel Jones



On the heels of three successful Vintage Gap drops in the US and Japan that quickly sold out online, the retailer has announced the upcoming Gap Reissue x Sean Wotherspoon Collection, dropping on October 13th in the U.S. The limited-edition collection is inspired by Wotherspoon’s favorite essentials from the brand’s archives and his most extensive apparel collaboration to date. It reinvents Gap’s bestselling icons and showcases Sean’s fresh and unique design approach by combining nostalgia and modernism.

The Reissue collection includes 11 items, each capturing the essence of Gap’s beloved essentials that were carefully chosen to cater to a diverse range of tastes – from archival textures and embroidered detailing to iconic designs and nostalgic charm. All styled back to loose denim and cords, the collection ranges in price from $29.95 – $158 including a logo hoodie, denim jacket, corduroy baseball hat, anorak jacket, reversible half-zip pullover, and graphic tees.

 As a renowned vintage collector and lifelong brand fan, whose mother worked at a Gap store in the ’90s, Sean worked with the brand to hand-select a line of iconic pieces to bring back to the shelves, in a modern way. 

Says Wotherspoon, “The reversible nylon/fleece jacket always stood out to me growing up, whether seeing my dad wear it or on a mannequin at the Gap store when my mom was working there. I knew this was a silhouette I needed to flip. I really wanted to nail some of my favorite Gap classics with a focus on quality, texture, and color. I am honored to use this platform with Gap to inspire the next generation of creative minds and champion what it means to be an artistic original in the present day.”
