4. We might get a taste of Gap’s Japanese offerings sooner than later. While product at Gap stores all over the world is more homogenized than it was in the past,

1. Hanging out with President Obama is “awesome.” Robinson was one of the lucky few who attended the Obama dinner at Anna’s house on Wednesday night. He divulged that it was an intimate, memorable experience. Essentially, he was blown away.

7. Maialino’s eggs with Pecorino cheese are delicious. That is all.
5. Gap wants to be modern, not nostalgic. With “heritage” at the forefront of most brand’s marketing plans, it’s important to Robinson to keep Gap modern and fresh, instead of relying on old techniques and styles. I find that notion inspiring. I’m kind of getting sick of questionably authentic heritage campaigns.
