there is a change coming....To Gap

Keep your eyes peeled and looking out for a new change in design at Gap, because they just fired their head designer Patrick Robins. Unlike Coach's sad excuse for a designer Patrick actually does design and has a lot of support from big design friends such as Anna Wintour's active support, a Parsons education, and done jobs at Giorgio Armani and Paco Rabanne on his resume. Robinson's tenure marked a turn towards more carefully designed collections Of  Patrick's shining moments on his resume are, he took a year to re deisgn Gaps Entire denim line, also a successful collaboration with  Stella McCartney for kids Gap happened on his watch, as well as a shoe collaboration with Pierre Hardy  that resulted in $250 wedges. So why the let go? and why the let go with out a replacement ready to jump in and start working? Well we believe it comes down to sales once again, sales have been down for a bit for Gap so they are trying to rework their lines and new logo. We are sorry to see you go Patrick, but by the sound of who you know and who you have worked with we are sure your doing pick your self right up. Good Luck Patrick! if only Coach would lay off their Head designer...the world would be a better place for design.
