Gap’s New Khaki Collaboration Isn’t Half Bad

CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Alexander Wang, Vena Cava, and Albertus Swanepoel designed khaki pieces for this year's installment of Gap's Design Editions series. The word "khakis" often conjures images of bad summer camp shorts and Disney World tourists. But no longer are khakis to men what mom jeans are to women. Gap's new khaki pieces are actually pretty cute. They won't be enough to save the entire company from itself, but they're a solid start. Alexander Wang did a motorcycle jacket, Vena Cava did dresses, and Albertus did hats. Check them out in the slideshow. What do you think?
