Every fashion-forward girl knows at the core of any well-styled outfit are some solid simple staples. Whether it be high-quality jeans, simple tank tops or some plain outwear. Your basics are the foundation of your look.

A long-time leader of the classics, Gap established itself as the one-stop shop for all our wardrobe essentials decades ago. And as of recent, GRAZIA Middle East has found itself a small part of that legacy.

Partnering with the brand to host an exclusive event, the GRAZIA X Gap affair took place in the brand’s Dubai Mall branch this week. Celebrating the launch of the Summer 2024 collection, the fashion-centred experience held ground for a range of fun-filled activities. From styling sessions with Gap’s latest pieces to photobooth pictures, coffee stations and a media wall, the treats came in range.

The event comes fresh of the heels of A-list actress Anne Hathaway stepping out in a custom Gap look in Rome. The dress, designed by creative director Zac Posen, was a reinterpretation of the classic Gap white shirt inspired by the Audrey Hepburn film Roman Holiday, further emphasising the label’s pull on classic and timeless staples.

And with singer of the moment, Tyla, one of the main brand ambassadors for Gap, the dominance of the all-American brand is felt on a global scale.

Further cementing its commitment to widening its pool, Gap has unveiled an exclusive collaboration for the summer with Californian brand DÔEN.
