The Gap has been making headlines as of late, one reason being they just hosted the Met Gala and the second despite numerous attempts to crawl out of a financial hole they continue to hit rock bottom. It’s no secret that for years the American brand has been struggling to gain momentum and they hoped things would turn around after hiring Patrick Robinson to take over as head designer back in 2007. Robinson, who was once hailed as a “megabrand messiah,” is credited for breathing new life in Armani during his four-year tenure there and Anne Klein in 1995. Despite Robinson’s past successes with other brands Gap sales are down 14% since he took over and Gap’s CEO puts in bluntly in the Wall Street Journal, “We have not been happy with the performance since late 2007.” While Gap Inc.’s Old Navy and Banana Republic divisions are showing signs of life, the Gap brand itself continues to struggle with styles that consumers find easy to ignore. Mr. Robinson says in an interview that he is aware that the design choices he makes define how people think of the entire brand and intends to stick it out. "I like how big of a challenge it is," he says.
Robinson is the third designer to attempt to save the Gap since 2003, when sales were at an all time low for the brand.
