Developed by Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Global Creative Centeri<\/a> n NY together with Ogilvy<\/a> and Cool Hunting<\/a> Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1969 studio, creating the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s denim line, is the \u00ef\u00ac\u0081rst to get a treatment by the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s marketing department to highlight \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s different and inventive at Gap,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 says chief marketing of\u00ef\u00ac\u0081cer Seth Farbman.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWe want our customers to see who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behind the product and how their individual personalities and lifestyles in\u00ef\u00ac\u201auence what we offer in our stores around the globe.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n

To show that Gap is not just another denim retailer but ,Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new global marketing campaign tells the story of its 1969 fall collection from the inside out. Starting with the personalities behind the denim, 1969: L.A. and Beyond gives a transparent look at the designers and how they come together each day to create the latest in denim fits, fabrics and washes. Taking it from the studio to the real world, the campaign also shows how the denim comes to life in various cities by the people who wear it. All this is perhaps to give a more human and individualistic touch to their 1969 jeans .<\/p>\n

Led by creative director Rosella Giuliani<\/strong> (formerly vice president of design and merchandising at Seven For All Mankind),\u00c2\u00a0 the 1969 design team is a collective of artists, musicians, action sports junkies and trendsetters. Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s design director, Nicole King-Burroughs<\/strong>, turns to art for style inspiration, while women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s merchant, Masako Konishi, views fashion as more instinct than intellect, applying emotion as opposed to regulated rules to make her fashion choices. Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s design director, Jason Ferro<\/strong>, brings his background as a rebel skater, surfer and musician to the design table, while men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s merchant, Cale Margol<\/strong>, uses denim as a canvas to tell a modern and progressive story. Wash specialist, Rob Crews, started in the industry when he was just 16 years-old and fell in love with the creative process of taking raw denim into a washed state through different hand treatments. A series of over 30 videos gives a sneak peek into how the collection is made. Here is one of the videos :<\/p>\n

Providing further inspiration to the design team, the 1969 studio feels like the personal atelier of a denim architect, not the headquarters of a global brand. Once a cigar factory, the vast and open loft studio is based in the heart of the garment district on West Pico Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles. This Gap denim epicenter is an ever-changing canvas for ideas, featuring art books, mood boards, vintage buttons, Japanese work wear catalogues and back issues of surfer magazines, set against a backdrop of sun-filled floor-to-ceiling bay windows.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153When I first joined Gap, I was surprised by the unexpected, untold stories across the brand\u00e2\u20ac\u201dparticularly about our people and the real-life experiences and situations they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re inspired by,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Seth Farbman, Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Chief Marketing Officer. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fall is our first step in sharing what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s different and inventive at Gap, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting with our 1969 studio. We want our customers to see who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behind the product and how their individual personalities and lifestyles influence what we offer in our stores around the globe.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Aligned with how people want to discover and share information, 1969: L.A. and Beyond will live primarily in the digital world via a series of video vignettes and sponsored editorial on Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Facebook<\/a> page\u00c2\u00a0 and on outlets such as DailyCandy, FabSugar, Glam, Hulu, LookBook, Pandora, Refinery29, RollingStone and TrendCentral. The campaign was developed in Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Global Creative Center in New York, and is designed to be global with different parts of the campaign allowing international markets to balance according to their needs.<\/p>\n

To make the campaign more lively , Gap has also launched the Pico Trucks<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 in some cities of US where Tacos (a mexican food) and other items will be served to people who are wearing a Gap product \u00e2\u20ac\u201c FREE !

1969 Fall Collection
\n<\/strong>Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1969 fall collection continues to demonstrate Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s commitment to bringing the same premium fabrics and fits as other premium denim brands at a much more accessible price point. Taking denim beyond the five-pocket blue jean, the fall collection explores the idea of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153jeanswear meets sportswear.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It evolves the line from jeans to stretch leggings, cords, tailored dress shirts and jackets.<\/strong> With an emphasis on sophisticated fabrics, the collection feels modern and sexy while maintaining a denim lifestyle vibe.<\/p>\n

\"gap<\/a>The women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s signature Legging Jean is fresh for fall in a variety of new\u00c2\u00a0 fabrics and colors, including the Ponte Knit Legging in black and olive<\/strong>, the Gummy Legging in black and khaki<\/strong>, and the Legging Cord in both neutral and pop colors. Also big for fall is the High Rise Pintuck Trouser in a non-traditional indigo denim, the Skinny Boot in black, and the fashion crop in fits such as the Cropped Slim, the High Rise Cropped Straight and the Cropped Boot.<\/p>\n

\"gap<\/a> The menswear collection is also focused on signature fits in new fabrics and colors.<\/strong> Highlights include the Drop Crotch Skinny in charcoal, the Slim Trouser in dolphin grey, the Super Skinny Clean in grey and the Slouchy Slim Rocker in black. The collection also features pieces that are either a natural extension of denim or that pair nicely with jeans, including the lightweight chambray jacket, a lightweight denim blazer and tailored dress shirts.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fabric and fit are the keys to the fall collection<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d focal points of every piece. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken beautiful and interesting fabrics and then tested their reaction to different cuts, washes and dyes. The result is a range of new styles and fits that stretch beyond denim into a broader collection,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Rosella Giuliani, Gap\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1969 Creative Director.<\/p>\n
