Preview: Gap Men's Spring 2011


Since taking over the role of creative director for the Gap in 2007, Patrick Robinson has been trying to take the company's design aesthetic in a new direction. For the past couple of years we've all been along for the ride and, while I wasn't exactly sure where we were headed, I think we've finally reached the destination. I don't know whether it's due to the actual construction of the garments or if it's just superb styling, but the lookbook for Gap's Spring 2011 men's collection features several pieces that might be worthy of walking the runway in Milan (if you removed the hangtags).

I think it's possible that, with a little more time, Robinson might be able to do for the Gap what Jenna Lyons did for J. Crew. The chinos appear to be great quality with a slightly tailored, but solid, fit and the outerwear is on trend but not too forward. The overall mood of the collection is (dare I say) slightly minimalist with a hint of mild European sensibility. These are my favorite looks from the collection:
