For starters, the campaign features supermodels Alex Consani, Anok Yai, and Imaan Hammam (jaw drop!), wearing denim-on-denim ‘fits, edgy tailored separates, and signature Gap basics with a twist — think khaki bubble skorts, denim blazers, and extra-cropped button-downs.
“Representing the highest expression of the iconic American brand in terms of style, craftsmanship, and quality,” GapStudio “showcases expert tailoring, intricate details, and a modern take on American style,” according to a press release.
“GapStudio creates both accessible, coveted retail collections and exclusive, one-of-a-kind designs that celebrate self-expression and solidify Gap’s place in culture,” adds Gap president and CEO, Mark Breitbard, in the release. So while you may not be able to wear Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s one-of-a-kind Met Gala denim gown, you can still own unique GapStudio styles at more-accessible prices.
The brand’s signature denim is clearly the star of this collection. From wide-leg sailor jeans, seamed denim dresses, and statement outerwear (like denim trench coats and coated moto jackets) to truly unexpected denim corset belts and bralettes, it’s a Canadian tuxedo-lover’s dream.
“We’ve built a creative studio where I’ve designed looks for the red carpet, and where we’ll continue to collaborate with visionary talent in the future,” said Posen in the release. “GapStudio Collection 01 reflects that vision — blending tailoring with innovative denim treatments that sculpt and refine the fabric in new ways,” adding: “This is just the beginning.”
Collection 01 will retail between $78 and $248, and be able to shop on April 3 starting at 8 a.m. EST.

Rejoice, fashion history nerds and period drama lovers, we are officially in the age of the bloomer pant… Or at least, The Bloomer 2.0. Once an undergarment layer that was meant to be hidden away, these light and airy bottoms are finally taking center stage in mainstream fashion.
Inspired by early-19th-century under-drawers, the style was later nicknamed “bloomers” as a result of its association with American suffragette Amelia Bloomer, who adopted the billowing trouser style as a symbol of female resistance. (In 1850, it was a political statement to show off bloomers under a dress or tunic rather than conceal.) Now you can find styles ranging from ruffled and lace-adorned to ones featuring delicate bow and ribbon adornments and sheer paneling.
Recently, I became the proud owner of my first pair of bloomer trousers: Free People’s Forever Young Pants. After discovering the style while they were sold out, I religiously checked the FP site every other day for two months before finally getting my hands on a pair. Now, these pants are one of my most worn items — and I don’t see that changing any time soon. They’re perfect for hot days, insanely comfy (I’ll opt for them over sweatpants any day), and easy to dress down or up depending on the styling. Plus, they add such fun and whimsy to my day; I feel like a kid playing dress-up again.
To prove just how versatile these pants are, I’ve styled them for everything from work to a music festival. Read on for my tips, as well as some other editor-approved bloomers you can shop now.
How To Style Bloomer Pants For A Music Festival
While I wouldn’t usually wear white to a music festival (in fear of rain, mud, and dirt stains), because these are so lightweight and breathable, I would totally sport these pants for a beach or desert event. In line with my boho festival style, I opted for an equally flowy top to mimic the ruffles on the pants, my trusty Frye Campus boots, ‘70-inspired shades, and a crochet bag.
If you are still worried about stains, don’t fret — Free People has six other colorways, including an inky black, a chocolate brown, and a chili red.
How To Style Bloomer Pants For A Casual Weekend
This is my go-to outfit for more casual, weekend affairs (in truth, it was one that I reached for in haste after I almost overslept a brunch date, but I ended up getting so many compliments that it has become a frequent look in my rotation). I like to treat these trousers like sweatpants because they’re just as comfortable but way more stylish; they elevate the otherwise simple combination of a graphic tee, cropped jacket, and ballet flats. I also like that, in pairing this retro-inspired velvet Rixo jacket with the pants, I’m nodding to the bloomers’ historic origins.
How To Style Bloomer Pants For Work
Despite what you might think, bloomer pants make for a great work outfit, especially for a business-casual dress code. Less is more here — pair them with classic items that already make up your workwear wardrobe. In my case, I decided to offset their feminine energy with boxy, menswear-inspired items like this Sezane trenchcoat and my beloved chunky Dr Marten shoes. A funky patterned top makes sure I’m keeping my personality in check and works for my creative workspace. If I were to dress these bloomers for a more corporate office, I would stick to a simple, structured blouse.
How To Style Bloomer Pants For A Night Out
The voluminous silhouette and lace detail give these pants a formal, dressed-up feel, so it’s not hard to style them for a night out or a party. To counter the romantic, vintage vibe, I paired them with sleek, minimalistic pieces like this slinky, asymmetrical top and chunky heels, modernizing the look with some pattern clashing between the polka dots and zebra print bag. I’ve found that opting for a cropped top helps balance out the flowy shape of the pants too, as does the off-the-shoulder cut and flash of skin.
How To Style Bloomer Pants For Vacation
ICYMI: The early 2000s dress-over-pants trend is back, and cooler than ever. After playing around with my wardrobe, I discovered that slim-fitting button-down dresses work best, balancing the flowy shape and silhouette of the pants and stopping me from looking overwhelmed with too much fabric (I’m 5’2″). The result has me feeling like I’m cosplaying a period drama character (Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette vibes) and making me want to frolic in a wildflower meadow. In reality, I’ll be packing it for an upcoming summer vacation to the south of France, complete with a raffia bag and delicate ballet flats (mine are both from the French brand Rouje, so very apt!). For now, though, I’ll throw on a trusty cable knit cardie to keep warm during springtime.

With April showers approaching, it’s time for the return of the trench coat, the quintessential spring must-have. Not too heavy, not too light (dare we say, just right?), and typically made from water-repellant and wind-resistant fabrics, trenches are the outerwear of choice for transitional weather. While knee- and calf-length jackets are always a wise wardrobe investment, this season, a new crop of, well, cropped styles are trending.
Rather than a traditional, longline trench coat, cropped styles are a bit boxier and often more casual, offering a modern twist on a classic staple. From chic khaki and green options to unique silhouettes and fabrics, like cape jackets and denim iterations, there are plenty of styles to peruse.
Read on to pluck out a sporty design for long walks, a lady-like style for work and al fresco dinners, or a versatile jacket that can do it all.

Khaki-colored coats are a tried-and-true trench style that will forever work. Thanks to the neutral colorway that goes with almost everything, it’s also the easiest style. Consider the various shades of khaki (sand, camel, etc.) to find the one that best suits you. Then look out for details like double-breasted closures for a touch of distinction.
