The president of Gap Europe, former New Look chief executive, Stephen Sunnucks, said on announcing the deal: “At a time when we are launching in our boutiques the very first collections designed by our own European studio, we are very happy to have the opportunity to collaborate with a world-famous talent like Pierre Hardy, and to offer to our customers his aesthetic vision of Casual Gap.”
In the past Pierre Hardy has created footwear for Christian Dior and Hermès.
