This is not the first time Gap and Diane von Furstenberg have joined forces, but in my opinion, it’s definitely the best. I must confess, bright colours and clashing prints are not normally my thing (or Tabs’ seeing as I buy and police her wardrobe!), but I love this collection, and it’s so perfect for Summer (when you really want a good print). I’ve picked out some of my favourite pieces for you, but there is tons more to choose from. I really love this blue and white printed playsuit (how cute with simple, flat sandals?), which I homed in on immediately at the press breakfast last week. And this easy t-shirt dress (which comes in other colours too, as do most of the pieces in the collection) will be worn into the ground once Summer decides to put in an appearance. And I can definitely see these yellow heart print leggings with a grey tee or sweatshirt. Ok, so Diane might not approve of how I might deconstruct her ‘clashing vision’, but then that’s what I love (and admire) about her clothes – you can go as crazy or as low-key as you like, and they always work. And the fantastic thing about this particular Gap Kids collaboration, is that it covers such a broad range of ages, from toddlers right up to teens. Perfect. I know my ten year old neice will love some of the pieces as much as Tabitha (for different reasons). And as much as I loved the Peter Rabbit collection, I still feel sad every time I see this white broderie anglaise dress, knowing that Tabitha will always be too big for it. Ok, time to get over it – it’s been months now…
