Patrick Robinson’s “Elevating” Gap One Perfect Pant at a Time

Gaps new legging jeanOn Friday, Gap hosted a laid back breakfast for their creative director, Patrick Robinson, and a few editors.

There was talk of silly bandz (his kids can't wear them to school) and True Blood (he has to shield the screen from his airplane neighbors because, well, have you seen True Blood?), but eventually the talk turned to pants — the thing Robinson appears born to perfect.

Gap's just debuted their take on the jegging, which is, thankfully, just a perfect legging-like jean.  There are real seams, buttons and zippers and though they're stretchy, they still look more jean than legging.  

Robinson's squarely focused on 'elevating' the brand, a phrase he repeatedly used while lifting his hands over his head as if physically moving Gap to new heights.  The first step, after these jeans, is a line of perfect dress pants debuting this August. 

"I want the girl who wears Gap on a daily basis to be able to wear it on a date, too," he said.  But really, that's a goal he might've already met with these new jeans.
