For awhile now I've been following news about Gap (GPS) and wondering what it would take to revive the company. (Read previous posts: Will This Bring Gap Back on the Map? and An Idea to Get Gap Out of the Dip)
Well, I just received word from WWD.com that Gap has just signed on Todd Oldham as Old Navy's new creative director. Oldham will grab the reigns on October 1st. All of us rooting for Gap to make a comeback will just hope and pray that he'll do something to get fashionistas back into the doors.
Todd Oldham has a very impressive resume. He truly is a modern-day Renaissance Man. Here are just some of the things he's accomplished that I gleaned from the bio on his website:
2006 - Designed Fairfax Southbeach - Opens 2007

2006 - Designed The First Free Standing Todd Oldham By La-Z-Boy Store In New York City
