Gap is known for its simple yet stylish ethos with an emphasis on denim and classic casual apparel. Yet there was plenty of pizzazz about the launch on Sunday, August 29, as models, DJs and members of the media mingled in the building’s entrance hall. With charming waitresses passing round plates of delicious nibbles and keeping the glasses of Moet topped up, the mood at the launch was predictably festive.
