Gap is bringing its timeless heritage to the Philippines with a special collaboration alongside New York-based designer Sandy Liang. Rooted in shared nostalgia, the limited-edition collection reimagines Gap’s iconic essentials through Liang’s signature playful and feminine lens, creating pieces that are both wearable and cross-generational.
Since launching her first collection in 2014, Sandy Liang has become one of New York’s defining designers, celebrated for blending downtown edge with nostalgic charm. Her partnership with Gap channels her cult-favorite designs into reinterpretations of the brand’s classic pieces, from bow-adorned denim to instantly recognizable outerwear.
“Each collaboration has its own handwriting—its own story,” said Mark Breitbard, President and CEO of Gap brand. “Sandy Liang has cultivated both an engaged community and an iconic design perspective, which has allowed her to reimagine our heritage pieces into something entirely new, yet familiar.”
The collaboration is brought to life through the imaginative short film, “Sandy’s Dream Closet,” animated by visual artist Annie Choi. Set on a street above her father’s Cantonese restaurant in New York City’s Lower East Side, the film depicts a young Sandy envisioning the fashion possibilities of the future, with the Gap × Sandy Liang collection representing her ultimate vision of self-expression. “Growing up, Gap was the pinnacle of fashion,” says Sandy Liang. “This collaboration allows me to reimagine the pieces that meant something to me as a child, celebrating girlhood while honoring Gap’s timeless style.”
Key pieces include versatile denim silhouettes like the Pleated Denim Mini Skirt (₱5,650), Vegan Fur Crop Denim Jacket (₱10,950), and Low-Rise ’90s Loose Carpenter Jeans (₱4,650). Gap’s iconic fleece gets a playful twist with the Heavyweight Bow Oversized Hoodie (₱6,950), while statement-making layering options include the Reversible Vegan Leather Sherpa Jacket (₱13,350) and Shoe Sweater (₱4,650).
The collection is available exclusively at GAP SM Mall of Asia and online at gap.com.ph, offering fashion lovers a chance to own limited-edition staples that merge nostalgia with modern style.
