Gap to launch women's shoe collection
US clothing retailer Gap has expanded its European partnership with accessory designer Pierre Hardy in order to launch a collection of women's shoes at its US stores. Gap Europe has already been working with the designer, having recently launched his first Gap Design Editions capsule collection for fall in its stores in the UK and France.
The new collection for spring/summer 2008 will feature six styles including a peep-toe wooden wedge with gladiator style straps, a stacked wooden heel with brown leather straps and brass buckle detailing, and a Grecian double strap T-bar sandal.
Pierre Hardy is a well known accessories designer, whose career began with Christian Dior's footwear collection in the early 1990s. He launched his own label in 1999, adding men's shoes and handbags a few seasons later.
