Gap recently announced they've joined Aurora James' 15 Percent Pledge [1] as an advocacy partner committed to amplifying Black voices [2], and to increasing the internship, externship, apprenticeship, and training for Black employees. Then, not only did they donate $200,000 to this organisation as well, they just released a series of tees and hats for The Gap Collective [3], designed by Black artists who happen to also be employees and members of Gap Inc.'s African-American Networking Group. Way to get things started!
The collection honours Black heritage [4], legacy [5], and beauty [6] with pieces for all ages from babies to adults, in celebration of Black History Month [7]. We couldn't possibly name a favourite from the creations by Courtney Minor (Director, Consumer Insights), Tatiana Hill (General Manager), and Dwayne Dupréy (Store Ops Project Manager), so we had to include them all. Check out the styles for yourself ahead.
