How Zac Posen is Reenergising Gap Inc. | The BoF Podcast

BoF founder and editor in chief Imran Amed sits down with the newly-appointed creative director of Gap Inc to explore how the latest chapter in his creative journey is changing the way he thinks about success and professional fulfilment. #ZacPosen burst onto the fashion scene in the early 2000s, gaining acclaim for his glamorous designs and dressing Hollywood's elite. After nearly two decades, Posen closed his label in 2019, finding himself at a crossroads that eventually led to a meeting with #RichardDickson, the new CEO of #GapInc., and the chance to join the company as creative director. Now, he's on a mission to bring cultural relevance and excitement back to brands like #Gap, #OldNavy, #BananaRepublic, and #Athleta. “Within five minutes [of meeting Dickson], I knew that there was something very special. It was a cosmic moment where there was like a magic connection, where I saw that I had met my dreamer,” Posen says. This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Posen to explore his journey of redefining success, his transformative role at Gap Inc., and his vision for the future of fashion.
