More about the Spring 2022 Campaign by GAP

The campaign celebrates uniqueness, identity, and diversity. According to a press release made by the company,

"Gap Amplifies a Cast that Reflects the Diverse Identities, Cultures and Ideas of Individuals Pioneering True Paths for Themselves—Modern American Style at its Best."

Shot by well-known fashion photographer Zoey Grossman and conceptualized by Gap's global creative director Len Peltier, the Spring 2022 campaign is centered around the theme of self-expression and individuality.

A feel-good vibe shines in this campaign and it celebrates the freedom of being your true-self and your best-selves. The campaign features champions environmentalism, women's rights, social justice, and more.

The campaign also features a voiceover by the artist Kai-Isaiah Jamal from the verse of the poem Dream of Freedom. Dream of Me, which reads,

"And if there do be a dream

The dream has to include me

Otherwise ain’t gonna sleep

Or close my eyes just to be

If it do be a dream

I hope this dream’s dream

Is for me to be free"

Jamal, who is a non binary artist hoping to restructure and reform the performance world, is also a trans visibility artist.

Other than the DAP hoodie, you will also find versatile classics like wide leg khakis, khaki shorts tapered, vintage soft hoodies, varsity sweaters, poplin shirts, oversized parkas, and classic pocket tees.
