The last time khakis were cool was in the mid-to-late 90's when cargo pants were all the rage. The military look of khaki drawstring cargo pants paired with a camouflage tank was the last gasp from the grunge era -- defined by it's "anti-fashion" fashion statements.The Gap is hoping to change the way we view khaki and their store with the unveiling of their 3rd consecutive collection of Gap Design editions. The collection features classics (in 2007 they took on the classic white shirt campaign) designed by CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners. This year Alexander Wang, Albertus Swanepoel, Vena Cava designers, Lisa Mayock and Sopie Buhai, are the participates reviving the casual threads with jackets, dresses and hats. I'd usually stay away from khaki, but the prospect of a khaki motorcycle jacket designed by Alexander Wang for under $100 intrigues me and "Beige is the new Black".
The collection is available across Canada and can be found in the following Gap stores in Toronto: Eaton Centre, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and 60 Bloor Street.
