YouthnTM Your Look With GAP's Classic Fashions Dr. David J. Demko, gerontologist and editor, AgeVenture News Service, Boca Raton, Florida

GAP Inc is introducing "Classics Redefined" clothing for men and women this Fall. The campaign features a series of modern portraits of awe-inspiring individuals from a range of artistic fields including (photos left to right) Selma Blair, David Guggenheim, Regina King, Liev Schreiber, and Lucy Liu. Gap has been renowned for its powerful portraiture for decades, and this fall Gap celebrates the spirit of this legacy with the introduction of “Classics Redefined." The innovative ad campaign is captured by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz. “Fashion portraiture is a subject near and dear to Gap. Our advertising has always put the individual ahead of the clothes,” said Don Fisher, founder of Gap. “Whether it’s a celebrity, a writer, a performing artist or a model, the person is always the art, the clothes the frame that sets them off. A photo is a way to capture that moment so it doesn’t pass. And a compelling portrait is a way to make sure it lives on forever.” “Classics Redefined” is comprised of a series of emotionally arresting black and white portraits. Each portrait is numbered to highlight the wardrobe essentials Gap redefined this fall. The individuals featured in the campaign wear these modern Gap classics in a way that captures their personal style while celebrating the iconic item. In select campaign spreads, a simple product image of a fall item is juxtaposed against a portrait to tell a more detailed story about the classic pieces Gap has reinvented for fall. Gap’s fall collection is rooted in the brand’s heritage as the purveyor of casual style and features a modern take on the classic items Gap is known for. From the little black sweater dress and wide leg trouser for women, to the tailored shirt and the macintosh trench for men, Gap has redefined the classics this fall. A clean, simple approach to design makes these items the perfect addition to everyone’s fall wardrobe. The artists in the “Classics Redefined” campaign wear the following must-have items for fall.

Developed by Laird+Partners, Gap’s creative agency, the “Classics Redefined” print campaign will run in September issues of national magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, Lucky, Interview, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, GQ and Dwell. The campaign also will be featured in Gap stores, online and in outdoor elements, such as billboards and bus shelters, in select markets. Celebrity photos by Annie Leibovitz for GAP Inc.
