And in the category of best news we've heard all week . . . it's official, Diane von Furstenberg is going to be designing a second collection for GapKids and BabyGap! "I really loved the challenge of translating my designs into the first DVF for Gap collection," von Furstenberg said. "It was so much fun to see little girls wearing the pieces, and I'm looking forward to collaborating with Gap on this second collection."

"Diane’s iconic prints, signature silhouettes and optimistic color palettes really resonated with our customers around the world," added Steve Sunnucks, Gap's global president. "After a successful first collaboration, we’re thrilled to continue working with Diane and excited to see what she will bring forward in her second DVF for Gap collection."

The collaboration is scheduled to make its debut this April at select GapKids, BabyGap, and DVF stores, and online on Gap.com. Check out the first collection in its entirety, and get excited for more of DVF's iconic looks — shrunken down to size, this Spring.

Gap Summer '13 Supplies Us With Neon, Stripes, and a Bit of Edge

The Gap Summer 2013 forecast?

The Gap Summer 2013 forecast? Sunny with neon pops of orange, pink, and yellow; a strong chance of denim on denim with tie-dye showers with a nice beachy open-weave sweater and canvas bag breeze. In all seriousness, though, there's always a sense of classic Americana built into Gap's collections season after season, but for the warmer months ahead, expect there to be a little bit more edge involved. While there's enough Nantucket girl (fresh stripes, printed shorts, and crisp button-ups) to serve us well in the prep-inspired getaway category, we're also seeing a lot of rocker-chick references. Slightly frayed denim cutoffs in washed-out fades, bleached denim tie-dye shirts, and a light-wash jean moto jacket all make the cut. Styled together, this mix offers easy — and price-point friendly — ways to tap into Summer's iconic and trendier staples in one go.
