Rumor: Uniqlo Taking Over Gap?

It's no secret that the Gap has been struggling in recent years to keep up profits and keep the attention of buyers. The denim giant may be doing worse than we thought because rumors have begun circulating that Uniqlo is considering purchasing the business. While at first this takeover would seem unlikely (Uniqlo's presence in the United States is nowhere near as strong as the Gap's), Uniqlo actually comes from a rather strong empire called Fast Retail, founded in 1984 by Tadashi Yanai. Yanai reportedly has been looking for new ways to break into the American fashion market. So what would a Gap under Uniqlo regime look like? We have to admit that we'd be interested to find out.

Designer Katherine Fleming Makes A Name For Herself In Handbags

Pauline Montupet on Jan 21, 2009 7:17 AM PST

She may be best known for launching Tory Burch's accessories into super-stardom, but Katherine Fleming is now making a name of her own. With a pedigree from Parsons School of Design, Tory Burch, Polo Ralph Lauren and The Gap, the 29-year-old designer is now striking it hot with her own namesake collection of handbags. Inspired by the colors of Warhol and Hockney as well as the walls from her childhood home in Miami, Florida, her bags are one part retro and one part futuristic. Mixed textures, innovative hardware and trims blend beautifully into her effortlessly chic bags. While the shoulder bags are beautiful, it's her wonderfully detailed clutches that have me drooling! Check out the slideshow for more style or pick one up for yourself at Barneys nationwide and Opening Ceremony in NY & LA.

Sabrina Newman on Aug 19, 2008 6:02 AM PDT

We've all heard the old song and dance about how true style comes from being able to mix high and low-end items together seamlessly. While most starlets seem to abandon this mantra at events which are usually paved with high-fashion, Eva Longoria Parker proved to be a unlikely exception, bringing this style adage to life and showing all how it's done! At the the Whaleman Foundation Dinner, Eva, pictured with whale-activist extraordinaire Hayden Panettiere in Herve Leger, kept it easy-chic wearing skinny J Brand jeans, a cropped Old Navy belted jacket, YSL pumps, and some fun accessories for a look that deviated from her usual high-maintenance style, exuding fun, carefree glamour. Check out my SLIDESHOW to this fabulous look!

StyleSlides: The Gap's Party Perfect Looks!

on Dec 5, 2007 3:06 PM PST

'Tis the season to get dressed up! My favorite holiday party look? The girl's tuxedo (borrowed from the boys). I'll pick up the tuxedo pants (love the ribbon trim along the leg) then top them off with the shoulder-baring tuxedo halter (a great twist on a classic). Next, my husband. Fortunately the men's and women's dressy collections were designed to perfectly compliment one another.
