The iconic American fashion brand returns to its musical roots with British band, Jungle, for its latest Spring 2024 collection spotlighting Gap Linen, featuring linen as a canvas for original style. It is a celebration of self-expression and individuality through fashion, music, and dance.
As the face of the new collection, they have roped in Grammy Award-winning artiste, Tyla, the 22-year-old sensation born and raised in South Africa, who is making waves with her recent Billboard Hot 100 hit, Water. Tyla’s creativity and authenticity align seamlessly with Gap’s commitment to championing originality.
In the campaign, you can see the cast wearing a mix of several linen and linen-blend items dressed in neutral and tonal styles. Tyla wears the linen cargo pant and crop top alongside the rest of the cast styled in other loose fit and utility-focused items from the collection, such as the Linen Halter Vest, the Linen Cargo Wide-Leg Pant, the Linen Long Sleeve Button-Up, and the Linen ’90s Loose, which is a new t ake on the classic pant.
The campaign embraces Gap’s roots as a pop culture brand working with artistic originals across fashion and music. Each frame showcases the seamless motion and effortless movement of the brand’s newest Linen Collection, inviting wearers to make each piece their own. The collection is easy to wear, versatile, and conveniently machine washable. The staples in the edit include the Linen Cropped Boyfriend Shirt, 100 per cent Linen Boyfriend Shirt, Linen Button-Up, and the 365 Linen-Blend Trouser.
“It’s an absolute honour to be in a Gap campaign — so many iconic artistes have worked with Gap and I now get to be one of them. I’m excited for my fans to see me do a new type of dance where I’m styled in comfortable clothes with my own personal touches,” says Tyla.
Mark Breitbard of Gap tells us that working with talents who embody the spirit of originality is not just a choice, but a commitment to the brand’s heritage. “This campaign pays homage to Gap’s iconic musical ads of the past while embracing the diverse voices and talents that shape our present and future. We continue to draw inspiration from artistes who authentically express themselves, using Gap style to reflect their unique personalities.”
The campaign highlights the ease and versatility of Gap’s latest collection of iconic silhouettes in its signature linen fabrications. As a canvas for self-expression, the pieces in the Linen Collection allow for free-flowing movement and effortless style.
