fashionologie — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 14:27:43 PDT

>> We've got some good news and some bad news.

It sounds like the other three Fall 2010 styles Hardy created for the retailer - which were way cool - didn't make it to production, meaning they won't be available at all. [Style File]

UPDATE: Turns out the shoes are being produced after all, and the launch date has been moved back - all new intel here.

Pierre Hardy For Gap Spring Collection Available Next Week

coutorture — Wed, 05 May 2010 10:22:58 PDT

Gap's spring collaboration with Pierre Hardy is a welcome diversion from our unproductive obsession with the retailer's fall collection of lace-up boots (not in stores until August). Until then, this lineup will definitely do. Featuring go-with-everything denim and nude wedges ($110) and a flat espadrille that will only set you back $65, all four styles will be available online and in Gap stores next Monday, May 10.
