"It was to find a new way to create a collection that could fit with the Gap's, period," Hardy said of his motivation. "I tried to keep what I love — simple lines, no details — with the Gap that's more casual and light."

For Hardy, the fun of the collection is seeing his creations reach the masses.

"In the end, what's important in fashion is when you see the things you create worn on the street," he said. "It's a great pleasure."

Gary Muto, president of Gap Adult, GapBody and personal care, said, "For us, it's all about [guest designers] understanding the Gap brand aesthetic. Pierre's a natural and an extreme talent....True fashionistas appreciate [his work]. For us, it's always about the Gap brand first and sharing with people who share and embrace that aesthetic."

Hardy is the first accessories designer that Gap has chosen, and while the firm is open to other categories, such as handbags by Hardy, there are no plans as of yet. Muto declined to give a sales projection.
For us, it's about completing the look," Muto said. "We're always interested in giving customers wardrobe options and selections. It's looking at our brand and where we supplement different types of product."

The flats are very cute! I can't wait to see the rest of the collection. Thank you so much lucy for the updates. Karma! I will be stalking my Gap location in February then.

Will these be out in France (Paris) in February? I want to see the gladiator flats in flesh, they might be just what I've been searching for..

Thanks for posting the French Vogue piece, Diorette! The grey wedge, boot, and the flats are all adorable. Here's to hoping they're available in Florida...

checked out the shoes in london. the flats looked very pierre hardy but so stiff!! i couldnt get myself to get any
but im loving the summer ones

[uberwench]

Just a heads up -the PH flats are on sale. All are down to £14.99!

I picked up two pairs -the black patent and the matte gold. I was really desperate for a pair of purple/gold ones but they only had sizes 38+ and I need a 37. Sob.

im surprised they are marking them down already. you'd think that the gap would ship the shoes that didnt sell to america as we have a later on-sale date...

[Fruchtzwerg]

lucky you to get them on sale, in december I was in Paris and wanted them so much but the full price was too pricey for me. Now I'm regretting not to pick them

I don't like this at all. So average.

from fashion herald.com...
hopefully this means it will be at the sf flagship soon as well...

I've been harassing my friends at Gap on 34th and they think the Pierre Hardy shoes will be coming in a few weeks. 1-800-GapStyle is less confident; the party line is end of February. But my Gap kids feel confident 34th Street will be the first to get the collection because 'we're the biggest store.' 75 select stores will carry the line, so big or small, I'm just happy that 34th Street is getting the Pierre Hardy collection for spring...

I need those gladiator sandals! Did they go on sale or are they still in store?
