For kids, we’ve got three words for you: BOLD, FUN, and COLOR (are you seeing a trend here??). The coolest youngsters on the block are definitely dressing themselves—mixing & matching outfits their way, every day. Watch out, mom!

Sneak Peek: Holiday ’11 Moodboards

Visions of holiday have been dancing in our heads for a few weeks now. Most fun is distilling our daydreams into moodboards that capture the spirit of the season. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’d love gap.com to look like and the themes threading through the upcoming collections.

For women, it’s about divine knits and miles of oversized, cozy layers. Also, quirky bird prints, luscious fur trimmings, and a dazzling party dress to compliment the soft glow of twinkle lights.

For men, it’s all about true authenticity: guys wearing the clothes—not the other way around. Modern military, bits of shearling, and anything in vivid tartan plaid.

For kids, it’s about rock n’ roll mixed with lots of mischievousness. Punchy prints, zippy colors, and a brimming anticipation for the fast-approaching holidays.

For baby, it’s about soft, dreamy hues and lush forests full of whimsy. Playfulness and a sweet sense of wonder prevail.
