Old Navy is taking notes from its sister company Gap, borrowing one of its buzziest strategies of late: introducing designer collaborations. Its first? With Anna Sui.
If you've been noticing these staples of the American mall a bit more (or, at the very least, seen more headlines about them), it's because Gap Inc.—which owns Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta—has undergone a changing of the guard in recent years. Richard Dickson joined as CEO in 2023, and hired Zac Posen as Executive Vice President, Creative Director and Chief Creative Officer of Old Navy in early 2024. Together, they've been working to further fashion-ify each brand's offering.
