Gap has announced that it is to launch a design collaboration with Valentino. A capsule womenswear collection designed by Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paola Piccioli will go on sale at the opening of the new Gap flagship store in Milan in late November.
The range will then be available in London's flagship store, in Dover Street Market and in Colette in Paris.
The designers said: "We are very pleased that Gap thought of us as a partner for this important project as it brings together the iconic world of Valentino and Gap's fashion essentials. In this way, Valentino and Gap synthesize the current trend of combining luxury with basics."
President of Gap in Europe and Strategic Alliances, Stephen Sunnucks, added: "We thrilled to be welcomed by the house of Valentino, with its unique position in Italy's fashion heritage and to work with Maria Grazia and Pier Paolo and their modern, fresh take on women's style."
