You might want to start saving some money for this collab

Gap opened its doors that night to celebrate the announcement of its upcoming collaboration with Telfar, the New York–based label founded in 2005 by Telfar Clemens. At first, this pairing may seem surprising: One is a classic American brand known for affordable, everyday basics, and the other is a high-fashion label that couldn’t be cooler. But as Telfar’s most recent collection emphasized, the brand has always been democratic in its approach.

He wore a Gap x Telfar hoodie to the party on Thursday night, where display cases were covered in metal mesh, like at an underground club. “It shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m obsessed with Gap — what I do is about the idea of ‘normal’ — and changing that — because that is when you change real life.
Beyond the classic hoodie, the Gap x Telfar collection is still a work in progress. Personally, I’ll be saving my cash for the drop later this year.
